That happened on a site I was working on the guy slipped though the ceiling as you discribed, with one leg either side of the joists, problem was it was a lathe and plaster ceiling and every time he tried to get out the battens dug in more

Plumber (me) turns the stoptap off in the pavement.

Does my little job inside and turns the stoptap back on.

Ooooops, the body came out the valve.

apprentice on job we were working on in nursing home was stripping out old tv cables and wiring new ones for the new layout of rooms and decided he'd have the old areial so gets up on the roof and snip it's in the van  when all this shouting starts in the dayroom ??? plonker had cut wrong aerial and residents werent happy at losing their dose of daytime telly

I'll always remember one of the apprentices at work. He was constantly the butt of jokes by one guy teaching him. One day they trussed his hands & ankles together with loads of masking tape then sat him on the edge of a bench. It took him hours to get free without toppling on the floor. Another time they chained him to the cycle shed by the car park one lunch break. When the hooter went everyone went back to work but he was forgotten til it was time to go home. Just as well the guy with the keys had his car parked by the shed or the kid would have been there til the nightshift came in.

here's one for you guys........
many years ago, a friend of mine had his eighteenth birthday , so when driving past his local,with another friend jimbo, there was his car,  a couple of years old bemmer... so we set about it, as we were given a spare key to look after.. up came the bonnet, in went condoms on air intakes, shaving foam on the paint and lipstick on the windows, up it went on the jack, had taken 2 wheels off and put them under , lowered car on to the wheels, ....
just inserting the jack to remove the rear wheels, when a police car came hussling in to the pub car park.. and me and my friend jim were arrested for theft, vandalism.. etc.. etc..
i will admit we had gone over the top!!!!!
however, i transpired at the local cop shop, after about 2 hours of grief, that "OUR FRIEND" Ricky had sold the bloody car the day before!!!!!!!
so to avoid getting a nicking , we had toi wash, polish, clean and valet the entire car, and make good any marks caused.......
we were not happy bunnies.....
Ricky thought it was hilarious....NOT

This is a true story, FUNNY SIGHT you decide?
A guy walking his dog along footpath came up to a leval crossing that was down shutting path/road off,rather than walk up/over footbridge he decides to wait,a car pulls up and stops then 2nd car comes along and hit rear of 1st car, the guy with dog SHOUTS I SAW THAT,i will be a witness, he duly ties up dog and proceeds to give details to car driver,just then the train leaves the station and barriers start to go up taking the dog some 15-20ft in the air, he had tied the dog to one of the barriers ???.

ps:yes the dog did die.

A guy wanted to do some roof repairs to the rear of his bungalow.  Rather that hire a roof ladder, he just used an ordinary one lying along the angle of the roof & to make it secure he threw a rope over the roof & tied one end to the ladder & the other to his car.

So he's happily working away safe in the knowledge that his ladder is secure - next thing he knows, the missus is popping off to the shops in his car!!

He survived, but had a few broken bones to show for it!!
