At first I thought the twins on the sidewalk were lifting the ladder so they can reach to window!
“What could go wrong?”
The guy standing farthest back probably has an idea…
“Do I call the medics NOW or do I let this whole thing play out?”
The first wrong is the twins!
Well, I guess this makes certain ammount of sense. Old buildings often have narrow stairs and carrying bigitems can be problematic (says a guy who helped carry sofa up such narrow staircase).
though i don’t know why they haven’t placed ladded on top of the fan and go from there, shorter way to lift =D
In which case, the answer is to get a block and tackle to lower the thing down, not try to balance a god-knows-how-heavy refrigerator down a ladder. Good Lord. They’re lucky nobody was killed.
This often has to happen in places in Europe because the architecture is sized much smaller than in America. A friend of mine in Amsterdam had to get her couch into her apartment using a pulley and 4 guys.
How did it get up there?
Really? This was the best idea?
After getting the fridge out the window, Bob starts really craving another beer or two.
This is the outside of that house nine kludges back with the triangle staircase.
LOL!!! YES! I couldn’t stop laughing once I read this. It makes complete sense.
Nah, I don’t think so… the fridge should be a cone or any other weird shape to match that house. Plus I don’t want to imagine how would the ladder look like. *starts getting non-euclidian nightmares where Cthulhu wanders around carrying strange shaped furniture*
According to the car’s licence plate it is a french kludge
“Oh, merde!”
This is my favorite part; when they discover they should have measured the window first.
Nicely done!
I enjoyed your comment, but I enjoyed interpreting your name even more!
All I can think is “This isn’t going to end well…”
Hey guys!
It seems that we french have to confess this is a masterpiece of french intelligence.
From the number on the car, the look of the building, I’m pretty sure it is in France, in Haute Marne, a region in the north east of France. The architecture of the building seems indeed made of narrow stairs. This is a typical architecture from the region (made of wood crossed and clay), and dates back to the 19th century or before). A time where no fridges were to be found.
So funny to find over here.
I hope the guy’s on the ladder isn’t bleeding from his forearm, because it sort of looks like it. Isn’t that blood on his right forearm?
Famous last words #7: “Just let it down slowly”
Let’s see, the guy on the ladder doesn’t seem to be lifting much, and I don’t think the guy in the window is holding much either. I guess the fridge is levitating, or there is a lifting device that you can’t see. They could have hired one of the cranes that you see turned over every Friday., but that would have cost about ten tines the cost of the fridge. These guys seem to know what they are doing and have probably done it before.
“Claude, do have it? I can’t hold the refrigerator up above me for much longer!”
“No, Francois. It is slipping!”
*CRASH*
“Philippe, is everyone down there alright?”
“Yes, Claude. I think so. Thomas and Louis are fine. Wait…I don’t see Francois. Where is he? He could not have disappeared into thin air! Wait…”
*hesitantly reaches out and opens refrigerator door*
“Mon Dieu!”
Absolute genius! Funniest thing I’ve read in some time. Kudos to you, dogmeat.
About to fail in 3…2….1….
This is one of the few times I’d much rather be the guy on the ladder – than the guy holding the ladder.
In soviet russia fridge kidnap you!
That’s a vera nice fridge you’ve got there, Mrs. Fix-it. It would be a shame if somethin’…unfortunate were to…’appen to it. Me an’ the boys here, we can make sure nothin’ like that will happen to ya’s. All yous gotta do is pay us a little dough, we’ll make sure everyone else leaves you alone. Capiche?
Pfah! Amateurs. We once had to get a massive wooden bed (100 kg) in one piece through a window when one of my friends moved with his girlfriend in an old 18th century building in Lyon (still France). Didn’t have ladders, just ropes. And yeah, in France, we don’t have security access by the outside window like you lucky Americans in all your movies… (you know, like when the kidnappers are at the door, and the hero just gets out by the window and through the security ladder)
I was pissed off when my friend moved again because he broke up with his girlfriend… one month later.
Still I’d say it’s a national sport here.
You can read all about this one in the next edition of The Darwin Awards.
Wait for it…
Further evidence why males have shorter lifespans than females of the species.
has any one else noticed that the 2 men are holding the ladder up off the ground ! this is madness
Refridgerator $1200
Moving truck rental $80
Gym membership $45
Ladder $32.50
Getting the gang together to watch as you power lift that puppy up over your head only to be crushed by the inertia of the fall after the ladder buckles…well I don’t know, but I’ll give you every cent I have to watch it happen.
Security ladder?
They are not trying to kidnap the fridge, they are just trying to get it parallel with the deck of the house in the background.
it was the day of the big game… Cherie thought she had won the war by locking the beer in the fridge… little did she know the lengths the guys would go through…
My god…ITS A CONSPIRACY!
