Man Gets job Holding Building Up

Dallas - After the near collapse of the Wood Building in downtown Dallas, Boris Haspotch, the world's strongest man, came to the rescue.A cornerstone of the newly constructed building was crumbling into dust, and the building was dangerously close to collapse. Haspotch realized the danger, and ran over, placing himself under the east corner, and leveling the building until the occupants retreated to safety. When help arrived, they were stumped as to what to do next. A new cornerstone would take 14 days to arrive to at the scene, and they were faced with having to demolish the 35 million dollar office tower.

Construction Supervisor Bill Clemens offered Haspotch 10000 dollars a day to remain as a "human" cornerstone until the concrete cornerstone was replaced. Haspotch agreed, and had been holding the building up ever since.

Life has returned to normal and most occupants of the building come and go during their working hours. Haspotch has made only one request - that people over 300 pounds wait until the concrete cornerstone is in place before they enter the building.

"I may be strong, but why take a chance and let fatsoes in the building....".

 

Don't let go !!!
