I was watching the history channel one day and they were at the Mack factory. This and that went on and then they go over to a polishing machine and two boxes of dogs, one polished and the other needing it.
The guy at the work station was interviewed and seems he has been polishing bulldogs for 35 years!!!!!!!!!!!! Said he was going to retire soon and would really like to be able to buy a truck with one of his bull dogs on it. At least he had an inspiration. How that fits reality remains to be seen.

Course I was at the JD factory in IOWA once on a tour and there was a machine that was making the stripping devices for mechanical cotton pickers. Consisted of a solid steel cone requiring 3 longitudional gouges 120 degrees apart to do it's job.
Two machinists were on either side of a dish where they were lying and as the machine turned the dish the parts would come by a machinist and the device would get rolled 120 degrees by hand. In talking to the guys, they had been doing that operation for like 30 years. The guy said that mother deere had looked at the operation and that human involvement was the most reliable approach....so much for job security. I don't know if both worked the one machine or if one came over to chit chat with the tour. Better men than I.
