Nederlands Men at Work in Czechia

Nothing exceptional.
Some peculiarities though:
  • The shovel is a bit unusual.
  • The foot on the left has been turned 90 degrees. Remember Spain?
  • The head is rather a boxing-glove
 Our samples give reason to believe that the skills of the artist are never tested, or at least aren't considered very important. There is always something wrong with the drawing : the cap, the foot, the back, the shovel.

Although it's not easy yet to see in which direction evolution goes, the man with severed arms lets me fear the worst. We are going down, to icon country.

Czechia's workforce is split in two groups with a different opinion about the preferred tool to attack the heap. The first group swears by a shovel, while the second group hangs onto his spade. The heap behind the worker proves that the latter dig much harder than the shovel-people, so it's probably to reduce perspiration (sweat running of into the eyes is a safety hasard !) that people with a spade prefer to work bare-headed. Now this is for the experienced. Study all heaps from our finds carefully. I'm sure you noticed the mountainpeaks of the shovelers and the more rounded heaps of the spade-lovers.
But did you discover the movie, the timeline of a short story? Each sign apart warns us for people working. But all signs together show it actually happen ! The spade (or shovel) is driven into the sand. Amazing.

Deviating from the standards. Both feet in profile. I wonder if this is indigenous.

Postscript:
One of our researchers was able to dig up a related danger-sign in a shop in Karlstejn.
That's how our research-group excels: focused on the study with a keen eye and an open mind.
