did you see Johnny driving around today, he didn't even use his indicator when he had that work ute drifting sideways around that corner, he's a "mining outlaw" that bloke.

notice how Johnny always has good mannerisms and etiquette in the office but as soon as hes outside he's carrying on like a mad dog, cursing, farting and smoking in non smoking areas and has all the office people fooled he's such a "mining outlaw"

those maintenance fellas are hands down without question "mining outlaws" we just have no way of proving it.
