Not sure if there is any truth to it, or if I was just expected to believe it, because he was my foreman =D
Back when I was building scaffolding, I needed a temp handrail and found a piece of 2" EMT.
The foreman told me not to use it, because it was designed to bend.
If nothing else, you have my permission to add this to your urban legend repertoire =D
