Jonny,
This thread reminded me of comic strip from the 1950's. Hot Rod Magazine had a cartoon character named Stroker McGurk, In one issue of the magazine the state of California, home of some wild hot rods, had passed a law requiring fenders on all vehicles weighing more than 1500 lbs (680kg). The first frame was Stroker reading the law, the second he was busy drilling holes in the frame with a hole saw, the third showed the "rod" on the scales showing a weight of 1498 lbs. In the last frame his girl friend jumped in the car and it collapsed!!
Not to say your work is in danger. Just that it allowed an old man to reminisce.
