The original question....which I still have not received a reply to, was based on this post by Route 45. I see no need to travel the meandering path that the dog pile wants to just because they like the smell somewhere else.

I've worked in a number of factories, everybody behaves much the same regardless of sex or color if they want to keep working. Maybe things are different on the east coast, or maybe Mike hasn't spent much time in manufacturing.
