A stonemason friend of mine told me about two derrickmen he was working with
in Manhattan that dropped a 2" thick slab of granite from the 25th floor on a
quiet Saturday morning and how it fell quietly, planed slightly across the
street, and went through the roof of a parked, empty Jaguar. The two then
stood there arguing over their story line. Union and proud of it.
