When he goes to the workers' compensation office, an assessor interviews him.
"I see you work with radioactive materials and wish to claim compensation," says the assessor.
"Yes," says the trucker. "I feel really sick."
"All right then, does your employer take measures to protect you from radiation poisoning?"
"Yeah, he gives me a lead suit to wear on the job."
"And what about the cabin in which you drive?"
"Oh, yeah. That's lead-lined, all lead-lined."
"What about the material itself?" the assessor asks. "Where is that kept?"
"Oh, the stuff is held in a lead container, all lead."
Says the assessor, "Let me see if I get this straight: You wear a lead suit and sit in a lead-lined cabin, and the radioactive material is kept in a lead container?
"Yeah, that's right. All lead."
"Then I can't see how you could claim against him for radiation poisoning," the assessor concludes.
"Oh," says the trucker, "I'm not. I'm claiming for lead poisoning."
