…..a real artist.

Admirable.

Pride cometh before a fall.

Darwinism.

Are they sure he wasn’t trying to take a selfie?

There was one streak.

it’s not the fall that kills you – it’s the landing…

Is not Sal a bird as well? Do heights mean anything to him?

He reflected on his accomplishment!

Could be more bird droppings?

What’s the name of their newspaper? The Treetops. . .

Falling nine floors and surviving…

A few Molsons short of a two-four, eh?

I remember Charlie Weaver (aka the late Cliff Arquette) making that joke back in the 1950s, except it was a painter of a church steeple back in Mount Idy, if I recall aright.

Taking a long walk off a short plank.

He took great panes in his work.

Pride cometh before the fall…..

Although the first time I heard this was late 50’s while 50 feet in the air, it’s still amusing, and scary

Sal must have been a starving artist…

Was Sal so proud he forgot how to fly?

Historical fact, this is how Gaudi died. He was in the street admiring his work and was run over by a trolley.

Y’know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a window pane in the Treetops.

And he forgot he could fly.

Reminds me of a guy I know fell off of a five story building. Every one who saw him heard him proclaim, so far so good. (New version of the Magnificent Seven)

Such is the folly of standing on a book, to reach the upper corners of the window.

Guess he wasn’t a Treetop’s bird.
