It's called teamwork. We're talking about heavy woodworking machines right?
Not enough room for eight of them to pull at the same time. So four pull,
four push, the first pardon person goes and gets the beer and the second
pardon person goes and gets the food. Sounds just about right to me.

You forgot about the one who *completely* mis-understood the request -- and
when you shouted "pull", immediately tossed two clay pigeons into the air.

Does anyone have any plans for this push-pull-pardon thing I saw discussed?
I'm thinking of building one.
