Man Betrayed by Cardboard
Joe McDonnell, 78 and a resident of Palmville Twp, Minnesota, recently took a tumble as a result of putting his trust in a piece of cardboard. "It was a large piece of cardboard," McDonnell tells the press, "but it was not particularly thick. I was painting some shingles by the front steps and had set the cardboard on the porch to catch any drips. As I focused on my work, I kneeled on an unsupported area of the cardboard which led to a fall down the stairs." McDonnell clarifies there were only two steps where he fell and that he was not injured. "I was glad no one was watching," he adds, "and that my paint can did not tip over."
Man Installs Landmark
Joe McDonnell, 78 and an amateur glazier, recently installed the first of nine windows in his remote hermitage. “The windows were picked up over the years for next to nothing at auctions and yard sales," McDonnell tells reporters. "Four were in good condition but five needed work. Five months ago, as the hermitage took shape in the woods, my wife scraped the putty off all the panes. Since then I have replaced several broken panes, reputtied all thirty panes, and painted the windows a glossy paprika red, inside and out. My wife painted the frames a contrasting sanctuary green. The first of the windows in bad condition and now in good enough condition was installed in the cabin last Tuesday.” McDonnell expects to have the rest of the windows installed soon. “If there's a major delay, plan B is a blue tarp,” he adds.

ReplyDeleteNow don't be buying a new Plan B blue tarp. I have a few around here still in their plastic wrap, I'd loan you.
