Roofer with a sense of irony
My roofer (well, the roofer who fettles my roof, as I'm scared of
heights) has a keen sense of irony. He announced that he had had a fall and broken a couple of ribs, on the stairs inside his house. |

Step ladders are more dangerous than roofing ladders because because people get complacent and take more risks. |

Did you rib him about it?, sorry.
II know from myself that even a slight fracture in a rib is extremely painful, since you can hardly stop breathing and any bruising or fracture tends to move all the time. I've been lucky, I worked with a bloke who managed to break ribs three times in different places, mostly due to being a motor cyclist. Brian -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...
