Australian Craziness

We always hear about how crazy the Australians are. Well I have a story of my own. If you have read my profile, you saw that I own a business. My company makes power scaffolding. That is the machines you see window washers on hi rise buildings use. Also bridge painters. And also, as it turns out, crazy Australians.
I have a distributor in Australia (all over the world actually). Well these three Aussies had to paint a steeple on a church. They couldn't figure out how to rig up to a pointed structure. As two of them sat there scratching their heads, the third left for some reason. The two left behind had a brainstorm. They would place a spreader bar at the top of the steeple, cross the cables and tie them to their truck on the other side. A good plan and one they should have shared with their friend. But not wanting to wait for him, they got busy. It worked fine and they painted away. The friend came back and didn't see them way up there. He thought they left so he decided to take lunch. He jumped in the truck and drove away. Man that was some wild ride for the painters. Again, true story. See you all tomorrow.
