To be fair, the way that each sheet on the pile slides out one after the other IS pretty amusing.
Gravity was his enemy.
Gravity is the enemy of us all.
It’s the Earth’s super power.
Some people see uncooperative roofing sheets, others see world’s largest pack of fruit leather…
Gravity is our friend! It’s how we know where the ground is.
It’s our friend until it goes on a bender with its other friend, entropy. “Look what you’ve done to my body, Gravity! Look!”
Or geometry…
Maybe if I turn it 90 degrees and lay it horizontally…
I believe it was gravity and geometry!
Physics is a bitch that’ll kick your ass every chance it gets.
Hey, don’t go all fun sponge on us.
Hey! My brothers and I used to jump off the roof onto bean bag chairs in the yard.
New Guy’s foreman shouldn’t have put him on that job. His supervisor should be fired.
Hint: hoist the roofing material up 1 sheet at a time.
Oh, an expert, I get it now…
I’ve always objected to the fact that it never rests, and kicks in right away when you lose purchase. The wind usually builds gradually so you can secure things, you can see a storm coming and take shelter, or limit your sun exposure during a day, but gravity is always there lurking, waiting to fuck you up.
With all those bad driver videos, Russia sure seems full of the fail.
Sigh…
