VIDEO: Break the rules and make ‘em laugh

Construction workers around the world have a good sense of humour, to which this video attests. Granted, to show their sense of humour, they may fudge health and safety rules from time to time.

Surly no one else would create a paintjob for a mining dump truck to rival the artistic work on dragster cars.
