I get off at the top floor, go out on the roof, jump off and then play like I am hurt when I hit the ground. People are so gullible!! Had to be at least one comedian on this. My job is done. Other than that, when I built houses, I went no further than 2 floors. Freeze up every time! WOW WHAT A BUNCH OF BRAVE MEN is all I can say!!! Once in a while, I go there.
