Can you pick up your own weight?

Ya, when I saw JJ Watt stand beside a 55 gal. barrel and jump on top of it, I was impressed. This video is 61" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efB1gNszf3U

well I was thinking of both a broad jump which is lateral and a high jump like in track and field...I have a cousin who is much more athletic than I and he could scissor jump nearly five feet...I saw him jump over a four board fence that was 52 inches tall and never slowed down from a dead run. i would have had to run thru it.....

You and me both. I'd have at least ran through the top 3 boards!

I was pulling a t post out of the ground yesterday with a t post puller. It started out alright but wouldn't come all the way out. It was loose in the hole but inexplicably I was still struggling and sweating and putting enough weight on the t post puller handle to lift 200 lbs when I saw that the bottom of the puller was over the spade part of the post.

:lol: ga.prime that reminds me of this old joke.

A preacher, one day, decides to really lay into his congregation. "I want you to declare your sins here, today! Let the Lord take your sin away! Tell it all, brothers and sisters! Tell it all!"

A man stands up and says, "Preacher, I been taken by the sin of adultery. I fool around on my wife, she deserves better. I am a sinner and not fit to live." The preacher shouts, "Tell it all, brother! Don't hold nothing back, Tell it all!"

The man then says, "Preacher, I am possessed of the sin of gambling. I spend my house money at the casino, while my children are hungry and neglected. I am a sinner before the Lord." "Tell it all, brother, don't hold nothing back, Tell it all!"

Then the man says, "Preacher, the love of money has ruined my life. I spend all my days at work, spurning my family, and hoarding gold that could be better spent on the needy and friendless." "Tell it all, brother!, don't hold nothing back, Tell it all!"

Then the guy says, "Preacher, when I was 14 I had sex with my grandpas mule."

To which the preacher replied, "Dammed if I woulda told that." :lol:

FWIW, ga.prime, I've done worse than that. Somebody here has a signature that says experience is recognizing a mistake when you make it, or something along those lines. At least you were putting your heart into it :tiphat:
