Tall Stories...

A (none to intelligent) friend once told me that a man who worked in a skyscraper wanted to commit suicide. This man decided to jump out of his office window near the top of the ‘scraper. The story goes that on his decent there was such a huge gust of wind that he was blown back in to the building through his colleagues’ open window.


That’s funny. Not the “suicide” bit, but the ridiculous bit.

It begs the question – who on earth would design a skyscraper with windows that people can either fall in to or out of. That is a huge design flaw and, honestly, asking for trouble. A part that really gets me going is trying to imagine a man working hard at his desk, only for a full sized human being to fall onto it from the sky.


You can’t make this stuff up. No, wait, I think he just did…
