The Dumbest things

[Rombus]

Heres my story:

I was up on a ladder cleaning the huge 1278 tower plexi plates.
(Anyone at buckeye knows what im talking about, about a 14 foot tower with Plexiglas plates with the numbers 1278 cut out of vinyl on each plate)
So im up there cleaning the very top with about a foot between me and the tower, a teammate was up in a loft storage area above the shop office playing around with a very thin flexible piece of wood when he gets the bright idea to smack it against a pipe railing that was up there. Well all i hear is WISSHHH and a brown blur goes right between me and the tower. He broke it on the pole, and it flew, spun to vertical right as it passed me and the tower and fell down about halfway across the room.

Thank god it didn't hit me!
