Let this be a lesson to all of you - If you have to use a rope to do your
high maintenance repairs, make sure you tie it to something that isn't going
to drive away.

Same thing happened to the guy who had his cottage next to my
neighbour's cottage on Lake Huron. The cottage was down at the bottom
of a bank, parking up top, just about roof height.He was repairing the
roof, roped off to the car when his wife backed the car out to go play
cards with her friends down the road. She stopped when she saw him
come over the roof, and he ended up falling off the roof and broke his
leg. He gets home and is on the mend when his wife decided to do some
painting. She cleaned the brushes with turpentine or some other
flamable solvent and dumped it down the hole of the outhouse.
Poor guy goes in for a crap, sits down and lights his pipe, and drops
the (still burning) match down the hole. KABOOOM!!!
Now he's got his leg in a cast and second degree burns on his keester.
Both courtesy of his lovin' wife!!
