#37: The Ladder of Liability.
One has to think that calling in SGM to warn people about the dangers of using a ladder is starting to seem like hysteria. It’s a LADDER for chrissakes! Next we’ll have SGM cautioning us to be careful that we don’t get our toes jammed in the front door, or that our coffee might be hot! ((Hmmm. Actually, that gives me an idea…))
Really, it’s a complete waste of his talents and in this particular example you can tell that he’s just doing the gig for the money. Overacting much?

[…] thought that occurred to me in the middle of the last post was, Faithful Acowlytes, that perhaps I was being a little shortsighted in so perfunctorily […]
It’s his own fault he fell off. Who climbs a ladder in cowboy boots, anyhow?
See, the problem is that Atlas sent you a photo of the sign, but he didn’t send you The Instructions. If we knew what they were, all would become clear.
Yeah – Instruction #1 obviously reads:
Don’t attempt to climb ladder whilst wearing cowboy boots.
Maybe SGM aint quite th klutz we all think he is.
Prsonaly, I think hes sprintin up that laddr.
Dancing on the ceiling, perhaps?
Hey, Joey Polanski almost killed himself if not for that warning. At least he used a ladder to get up the tree to rake leaves!
RIMSHOT! Thank you Australia!
That made no sense at all Malach. As usual.
Reading the instructions ‘on the ladder’ sounds like the first danger sign to me. Why can’t he read them safely on the ground?
The King
It’s one of those sneaky Microsoft ladders: you have to climb up the ladder to read the instructions for how to climb up the ladder.
It’s too bad they left that ladder in Malach’s cage. What’s worse is he didn’t fall back in when trying to escape.
“Joey Polanski almost killed himself if not for that warning.”
Analysis, anyone?
A turnip for yer thougts.
Malach evidently thought it was amusing. Must be a laff riot inside that – for want of a better word – brain.
I am a casual home user. Do you have any advice for me?
>>Often times when trying to reach high places or those areas that are just out of reach the best option is to find a strong, safe ladder.
Another best option is just to give up and have a whisky.
Rimshot?
Oh.
I thought it would be ruder than that. Musta thought I was on the Gimcrack!
Boom tish.
