True story just told to me by a friend...
Friend was sitting in traffic yesterday on Ala Moana fronting the new high rise being constructed on the old Waikikian property. He's watching as the huge crane is ready to grasp 2 portapotties, somehow banded together, from the ground and move them onto a place higher up. The crane's claw (or whatever it's called!) grasps, lifts and...yes, what's going thru your head right now is what happened! At about the 15' height one potty door swings open and a workman starts yelling frantically. My friend pulls over to watch this scene play out! :eek:
Workman, terrified, is screaming his lungs out. My friend, who remained in his car could hear the guy even with his windows up! Other workers on the ground are screaming up to the crane operator. By now the potties are flying at about 30'! Eventually someone radios the crane operator who gets the message and lowers the potties!!!
Ooooh...to have been a fly on the wall of the occupied portapotty when it left the ground! :D The obvious tag line at this point is to say the guy was "scared $h!+less"...but it was probably true! It took him 15' to get his pants back up and open the door!!!!!
Now, that woulda been a great one for the Flip and YouTube!!!
