Yes Mam.

But what happens if I tie it off and I cut off the tree below where The ladder is propped? Wait, I think I know.

What he doesn't know is his neighbors were secretly filming him.

I like the way that guy walked away as if nothing happened. I can do that!

I guarantee that would be me if I ever tried to trim a tree in a ladder. The only difference is I would end up with a limp up my @ss when I hit the ground.

I have an embarrassing story for you to pass the time.

When my son was about 4 or 5 I bought him a go cart. The thing was a total POS and I was having a hell of a time keeping it running. So I have it backed into my shop which is separated from my house in the back. I'm tinkering with it trying to get it started. So I have the bright idea of disconnecting the throttle cable so I can manually adjust the throttle on the back of the engine. I set it about 3/4 throttle and give it a pull. It started! Cool! Did I mention I forgot to take the chain off? So off it goes with no driver and me in pursuit. NO WAY was I going to catch it. I gave up about 30 yds later since it's gaining speed. Up through the neighbors yard, jumped the ditched, almost cleared the road (impressive). Did a complete flip and landed on all 4 wheels and died unscathed! Meanwhile, my son is standing in the shop crying, I'm out of breath from both running and laughing. My wife is standing in the bay window with that disgusted look just shaking her head.

I usually pull one or two of these cool moves off a year.

Maybe that's why they have you sitting at the computer, instead of running the press.

That's because we haven't done anything like that! At least I don't remember anything!

Actually there's alot of truth in that!

About 20 years ago I was cutting stamp mounts about 1" long on a table saw. The guy that usually did it wasn't here that day. The secretary came out and asked me a question about a job, I turned around to answer and ended up going to the hospital after almost cutting my thumb and forefinger off. I never did cut another stamp mount after that. hmmmm...
