Even with a cage on top of the lift, all that material falling has a LOT of weight pushing debris in from each side. That's gotta hurt.

Uh, that's the same as the OP.



















Oh, wait. I'm a rat, and I'm too stupid to figure that out.

It was a non-union job, so the cameraman, being totally untrained and uneducated, forgot to charge the camcorder battery.

So they gave him a raise, promoted him to management, and let him drive the company Cadillac.

Truthfully, there were no less that 1,477 video cameras on site when that happened.

But none of the rats knew how to operate them.

The real reason for no video was that there were no rats to operate the cameras. When sh-t is about to hit the fan they know to scatter and come back later for easy pickins.
