Murphy and the Bricks
Dear sir i write this note to you to tell you of my plate, for at the time of writing it, i'm not a pretty site. me body is all black and blue, my face a deathly grey, and i write this note to say, why i am not at work today. Whilst working on the 14 floors some bricks i had to clear, but to toss them down from such a height was not a good idea. the foreman wasn't very pleased; he is an awkward sod, and he said i had to cart them down the ladders in me hodder. Now moving all these bricks by hand it was so very slow, so i hoisted up a barrow and secured the rope below, but in my haste to do the job i was to blind to see, that a barrow full of building bricks was heavier than me. And so when i untied the rope; the barrow fell like lead, but clinging tightly to the rope, i started up instead, i shot up like a rocket, till to my dismay i found, that halfway up i met, the bloody barrow coming down.

Now when these bricks had fallen, from the barrow to the floor, i then outweighed the barrow and so started down once more, still clinging tightly to the rope, me body racked with pain, and halfway down i met, the bloody barrow once again. The force of this collision, halfway down the office block, caused multiple abrasions and a nasty case of shock, still clinging tightly to the rope, i fell towards the ground, and landed on the broken bricks the barrow had scattered round. I lay there groaning on the ground; i thought i'd past the worst, when the barrow hit the pulley wheel and then the bottom burst, a shower of bricks rained down on me, i didn't have a hope, as i lay there bleeding on the ground i let go of the bloody rope. The barrow now being heavier, it started down once more, and landed right across me as i lay there on the floor, it broke 3 ribs and my left arm and i can only say…. i hope you'll understand why i am not at work today.
