Me? I'd be praying to EVERY known Deity At Hand and mebbe even making up a few. Watching this made my knees all watery.
In other news... We broke the seal on the furnace last evening, given our high was only 41 degrees yesterday. It's gonna be even colder today, like this:
At least there's no snow. Yet.
Hysteria as a coping device brought on by sheer terror would be my guess. I'd be nervous WITH guard rails.
ReplyDeleteI'll buy that.
DeleteNo, no, no, no, no!
ReplyDeleteYea Gods! Christ on a Crutch! Sheer terror indeed. I'm right there with you on the watery knees bit, Buck. It physically hurt! Almost as bad as the 1500' TV tower climb Lex and Sal both posted once..
ReplyDeleteAnne: I'm with you, girl!
ReplyDeleteVirgil: Watery knees, indeed!
No no. I am smart and sensible and I will walk.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'd even want to walk that.
DeleteNot only, "No, no, no, no, no!"
ReplyDeleteBut, Hell no!!!
Roger that!
DeleteUm - no. Just, NO. Hell N.O.
ReplyDeleteWe're of the same mind, Kris.
DeleteI never worry about stuff like that. You'd be dead in seconds.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites from the flight engineer:
1) if this thing gets off the ground we'll be all right.
2) if the pilots don't run into the tanker, we should be fine.
3) If the pilots don't scrape the engines on landing, we should do alright.
Dead in seconds? Those would be looooong seconds as you fell. Nice quotes from the flight engineer!
DeleteDuring the fall you need to slap your hat, and yell like Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove...
DeleteJeez, Buck, you gotta warn me before I watch somethin' like this at work. I damn near had to go for a change of underwear; clenchin' the ol' sphincter pretty hard, and I didn't even go full-screen. . .

Heh. My apologies, Craig.
