What do an electronics workbench, a woodworker's bench and a kitchen bench have in common? They are often found against a wall. Sometimes they may have a back attached to them instead.
If you sit on the table, your mom tells you to get your *** off and mind your manners. If you sit on your electronic work bench, you deserve the soldering-iron-shaped burn on your backside. The only bench that makes sense is the one in the dugout, and pine is relatively cheap compared to other wood.
Hey baby, why don't you come back to my anti-static pad.. I won't charge you.
Clever line! But after a while, most chips need to be mounted on a board.
Sure. If the mounting takes place on a board, and the board is on a bench, then I'm sure there will be a whole lot of "bench testing" going on.

My old mate Allen Wright once charged me with building him a workbench for a new manufacturing venture. His specification was that it had to "be able to withstand two pairs of fat people copulating on top of it" and that he "preferred screwing to gluing."
He complimented me when that business was winding down by telling me the only way he could get those benches out again was to demolish them with a sledge hammer.

Oh great, this impiles that all that's not right with the world could be a result of:

2) Too few Jerks
We may never know....
