This is a bricklayer's accident report, which was printed in the
Newsletter of the New Zealand equivalent of the Workers' Compensation
Board.
This is allegedly a true story. Had this guy died, he'd have walked
away with a Darwin Award.....well not walked away exactly!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir:
I am writing in response to your request for additional
information in Block 3 of the accident report form. I put "Poor planning"
as the cause of my accident. You asked for a fuller explanation and I
trust the following details will be sufficient.
I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working
alone on the roof of a new six-storey building. When I completed my work,
I found I had some bricks left over, which, when weighed later were found
to be slightly in excess of 250 Kgs.
Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a
barrel by using a pulley, which was attached to the side of the building
on the sixth floor. Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the
roof, swung the barrel out and loaded the bricks into it.
Then I went down and untied the rope, holding it tightly to ensure a slow
descent of the bricks. You will note in Block 11 of the accident report
form that I weigh 79 kgs. Due to my surprise at being jerked off the
ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of
the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rapid rate up the side of the building.
In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel which was now
proceeding downward at an equally impressive speed. This explains the
fractured skull, minor abrasions and the broken collarbone.
As listed in Section 3 of the accidents report form. Slowed
only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the
fingers of my right hand were Two knuckles deep into the pulley. Fortunately by
this time I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly
to the rope, in spite of the excruciating pain I was now beginning to experience.
At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks
hit the ground and the bottom fell out of the barrel. Now devoid of the
weight of the bricks, that barrel weighed approximately 25 kgs.
I refer you again to my weight.
As you might imagine, I began a rapid descent, down the side of the
building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up.
This accounts for the two fractured ankles, broken tooth and severe
lacerations of my legs and lower body. Here my luck began to change slightly.
The encounter with the barrel seemed to slow me enough to lessen my
injuries when I fell into the pile of bricks and fortunately only three
vertebrae were cracked. I am sorry to report, however, as I lay there on
the pile of bricks, in pain, unable to move, I again lost my composure
and presence of mind and let go of the rope and I lay there watching the
empty barrel begin its journey back down onto me. This explains the two
broken legs. I hope this answers your query.

Well,
A Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other,and finally they got married, and had a little sweet potato, which they called 'Yam'.
Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.
When it was time, they told her about the facts of life.
They warned her about going out and getting half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and
End up with a bunch of Tater Tots.
Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and make a rotten potato out of her!
But on the other hand she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either.
She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring Cousins.
When she went off to Europe, Mr. And Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland and the greasy guys from France called the French Fries.
And when she went out West, to watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped..
Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate with
Those high class Yukon Golds, or the ones from the other side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say, 'Frito Lay.'
Mr. And Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University).
So that when she graduated she'd really be in the Chips.
But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Yam came home
And announced she was going to marry Richie Benaud.
Richie Benaud!
Mr. And Mrs. Potato were very upset.
They told Yam she couldn't possibly marry Richie Benaud
Because he's just.......
Are you ready for this?
Are you sure?

OK!
Here it is!

The lady then explains that she needs it to poison her husband.
The pharmacist's eyes get big and he says 'I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my license. They'll throw us both in jail and all kinds of bad things will happen! Absolutely not! You cannot have any cyanide!'
The lady reaches into her purse and pulls out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.
The pharmacist takes one look at the picture and says.....
'Ohhhhhh, you didn't tell me you had a prescription!'

There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me."
And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him.
Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket,
the wife said, "Wait just a minute!"
She had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the casket.
Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away.
So, her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband."
The loyal wife replied," Listen, I'm an obedient wife and I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him."
You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!!!!?"
"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote him a check. If he can cash it, he can spend it."
hahaha

At the door was her husbands friend Ben. The woman tells him her husband is in the shower and to come back later. Instead, Ben steps in quietly and says 'I have $400 in my pocket, I'll give it to you, if you open your robe for me'.
She's offended, but really needs the money so she agrees, opens her robe and lets Ben have a quick look before doing it up again. Ben gives her the $400, she gestures for him to leave but he says 'I have another $400 in my other pocket. I'll give it to you if you let me touch your breasts.' Now she's really mortified, but again, she needs the money. She undoes her robe and lets him have a quick feel. Taking the $400 from him, she lets him out the door.
Going back upstairs, she gets back in the shower with her husband, feeling a little bit guilty.
'Who was that?' the husband asks.
'Oh it was just Ben' the wife answers.
'Ben?' the husband says.
'That jerk owes me 800 bucks!'
