Re: More of the 'Ouch! That's not good.' series
Sniffer, it does look like that type of location. I'm surprised that they didn't put some kind of barricade all around the
area to prevent something like that. Several years ago, we did a big remodel job on a funeral home including replacing
a section of broken sidewalk. when the cement finisher was doing the last of finishing, a very pretty and well-dressed
young lady walked by. We found out later that she was a sales girl in a store down the street a bit and was on her way
into work. He wanted to flirt with her and didn't have much time to think, so he asked her, "Would you like to leave
your footprint," thinking that she would just say no. But she surprised him by saying, "Ok" and she stepped up next
to him, put her hand on his shoulder, and proceeded to step on the fresh cement. She had high heels on and lost her
balance and pushed hard on his shoulder which made him lose his balance. They both fell in. Immediately they were
both yelling at each other. She had to go home and wash and change clothes and was late for work. He had some
scrambling to do to fill in the big mess in his cement. Luckily, he had an extra pair of pants in his truck and he threw
his shirt away. He finally got it fixed up ok, by using some off a small pile that the cement truck driver left when he
washed out his truck. Although, it made his job pretty tough, it was really funny to an on-looker, and he did ask for
it. LOL. Thanks for your reply
truckinbutch, wow! That must have been pretty scary for the parents. Ok, there are more coming up. Thanks
Tee, Yup, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes at that time. His landing is liable to be a bit rough and rocky. It's
too bad that the camera man couldn't have stopped the ducks before that could happen. Thanks for comment.
Gopher That must have been pretty funny sight. It was nice of you guys to go to so much effort to save them.
Thank you for your reply.
