Finally, I went out to the > balcony, and sure enough, there was this man hanging off the railing, > 25 floors above ground!

Well, this morning I must have slipped or something, because > I fell over the edge. But I got lucky, and caught the railing of the > balcony on the floor below me. I knew I couldn't hang on for very > long, when suddenly this man burst out onto the balcony. I thought for > sure I was saved, when he started beating on me and kicking me. I held > on the best I could until he ran into the apartment and grabbed a > hammer and started pounding on my hands. Finally I just let go, but > again I got lucky and fell into the bushes below, stunned but all > right. Just when I was thinking I was going to be okay, this > refrigerator comes falling out of the sky and crushes me instantly, > and now I'm here." > Once again, Peter had to concede that that sounded like a pretty > horrible death. > The third man came to the front of the line, and again the whole > process was repeated.
