Toss the Rubbish

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

My dad was snickering one day, when he came home. This was during the early 1990's, when we lived in an apartment block in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

He was telling me of our Indian neighours living on the 4th storey. Mr. Parikh invited a Bangladeshi handyman to clear some rubbish from the apartment, and in particular, to toss out a 4 x 4 meter sheet of plywood; which he did, out the balcony.

When it landed on a car parked beneath, as he had the good judgement to drop it sideways, it sliced it almost in two.

Lucky there was nobody underneath.

A bit short, perhaps, but sweet enough for a chuckle! This personal account fits in nicely with other "dumb worker" PA's we have in our archives. The visual is right out of a Laurel and Hardy short! Thanks, najam!

Maybe Toss: Lacks Excellence
While short and funny it really does not have any of the elements of a good DA or HM. I really think it lacks enough for a Personal Account.
