Not that I'm scared of "Height's" because I'm not...But that is one job that there is "NO WAY" I would have...Well...That, and a "Window Washer" job on those tall buildings...

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

LOL, I've seen that before. I don't think you could pay me enough to get up there. I'd try, but I don't think my legs and arms would work, lol.

If I remember correctly, this is a TV tower on top of a skyscraper...but I don't recall if it was New York or Chicago. Either way, I would never be able to do it. My arms and legs would turn to putty before even getting to the first rung on the ladder.
