Anybody Need A Ladder?

Post a picture of yourself atop the 24' trestle extension ladder that you build this weekend. ;-)

I personally think that if some one believes that someone would buy one of these ladders, an NEVER climb the straight part; they are either a government bureaucrat in thier ivory tower, or on drugs.

Where I grew up, if you were a kid on one of those ladders, there would be 3 to 5 kids plotting the most interesting way to make you fall off of it or to tip you over. And they would try to do it too! A couple of times they dug a hole about 7 or 8 feet deep, dropped a ladder in, and when they got an innocent victim to walk down the ladder to take a look, they pulled out the ladder, threw a piece of plywood over the top, and danced mercilessly on top. I played the role of the victim once. Then the race is on to find the next sucker. When the parent said the hole had to be filled, naturally one kid was asked to step into the hole when it was about 3 feet deep or so. And the sissy screamed after he couldn't move his legs! Kids don't seem to enjoy being outside as much as they used to... : )

I'd buy if it came with a set of balls to climb to the top!!!

In other words you had a normal child hood, before the nanny state took over.

I'd climb to top...if it was lying down.

One of our favorite pastimes was a game that involved heavy breathing and kicking.

The "victim" would lean forward at the waist and take deep, rapid breaths until they felt dizzy. Then the "perpetrator" would stand behind the victim, wrap their arms around his stomach and lift/squeeze until the victim passed out.

After the victim was dropped to ground, the rest of us would give him a few kicks just to make sure he wasn't faking.

Ah, the good ole days.

Wouldn't that be "walking to the end of it"?

Haven't I mentioned that I'm short?
