I went up on the roof to remove the top panel lights covers so I could unbolt the structures. Since we didn't have the lifts or ladders onsite I parked the box van close enuff to climb up there. I climbed onto the drive thru window then up to the roof no problem.
I started unscrewing the covers then flipping them off to get to the bolts.
That is when the 'Yellow Hord from Hades' made an unexpected appearence!

Now you have to picture everyone else standing on the ground looking up at me as I took off at the fastest run I could manage in a direction opposite the now angry 'Hord'!
That worked great until I ran out of roof with the 'Hord' still intent on revenge for destroying thier home.
I'm still not sure if it was blind panic or a stratagy on my part but I didn't stop running and went right off the roof at a dead run landing on the box van still running then from there to the ground.

When I went around the corner to where everyone else was standing I saw money exchangeing hands and the bastums had tears in their eyes from laughing so hard!

Seems as soon as I took off running they were betting on if I'd jump or not!!
I'd have given my pension to see that
