All white Now

[Mikepeters]

neighbour of mine was painting the upper 1/2 of his house white. He only took a full gallon of finest exterior wall coat up the ladder and of course dropped the lot. As it hit the ground flat bottom first, the resulting backlog spewed up the wall, across the whole garden, windows, his car, his flower s and best of all the first two ladder rungs. As he cam down, he slipped on the 2nd rung and lost two front teeth, then face down in the paint and finally the 'hook' he had used to hand the can on (now a 'straight'), went through his hand.

It put the episode when he had his car on ramps, in reverse gear, playing with the starter motor with the ignition on, and he earthed the thing only to start the car which promtely rolled back into the opposite neighbours brand new wall.
before you ask..... no it wasn't me.
You can't says it's boring in these parts though.

Roofer mate of mine fell off main roof and landed on the outhouse, back of his hands landed first then his full weight smashing both wrists, as he rolled over in agony he then fell into the garden where a german shepherd attacked him (twenty odd stiches in his leg) We laugh about it now but he said the noise his wrists made and the 10 second wait for the dog getting him still gives him nightmares.
