SV: [AT] Fw: a bear on the roof

[travis Register]

Charlie:
     Marcel started a moving company and was hired to move a piano 
from the second floor of a house.  He took Newgene and they went to 
move the piano only to find the easiest way to move it they thought 
was to hoop up a block and tackle and slide it out of the 
window.  Marcel would hold the rope and " ease her on down"   When 
the piano was pushed out the window, marcel flew up and the piano 
flew down, KABLAM and shattered into a million pieces.  With the 
counter weight gone and marcel way past the window, he flew down and 
landed on the remains of the piano.  Newgene, comes running out of 
the house screaming  "HAAWWW Marcel you alright , speak to me Marcel"
Marcel dazed says, " why should I speak to you, I passed you twice 
and you didn't speak to me at all!"
Sounds a lot like the old brick mason story about a barrel of bricks 
and his explanation to the ins company .
Merry Christmas
Travis
