I believe this was posted a while back, back when Congress was stalling over the new budget I think.

Gulp

glad I'm not there when that topples over, although I'm sure we'll feel the splash!

Never seen it portrayed that way but something similar was posted in the past IIRC.

Wouldn't mind being around when a gust of wind blows it over
