Ladder of Death





Is this necessary? Do we really live in a world where people have difficulty using ladders and ladder manufacturers must hide behind illustrated instructions in order to protect themselves from those who would sue for having fallen off said ladder? Are people that stupid even literate enough to read the instructions on the ladder? Given that people don't bother reading instructions for just about anything else does this mean there may be a niche market for ladder consultants? Call 1-800-U-NO-FALL for a free introductory consultation on the right ladder for you.






Ladder consulting could be big, what with so many people taping up plastic sheeting and such these days. In the event of a nuclear, chemical or biological threat on your block, you wouldn't want to miss out on all the fun of slowly asphyxiating under a cloud of radioactive dust by falling off your ladder, would you?

I had a really great idea...

1. The thrill of victory.
2. The agony of defeat.

(Thinking specifically of the poor bastard crashing into the stands from the 1970's Wide World of Sports intro (http://www.mbarrick.net/livejournal/2003/04/classic-intor-78.avi).
