OZCUBAN Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 What drinking will do to you 6 beers 2 glasses of wine 2 bottles of wine - Shared of course too many margaritas 3 Kamikazes 7 rum & cokes 1 large purple haze 3 martinis 1 bottle of tequila And for the grande finale 12 hours at the state of origin footy priceless If you got a chuckle or smile, pass it on to someone who loves animals too and drunk Presidents Babu Sassi, a fearless young man from southern India is the cult hero of D ubai 's army of construction workers. Known as the "Indian on the top of the world", Babi is the crane operator at the world's tallest building — the 819-metre Burj D ubai. His office, the cramped crane cab perched on top of the Burj, is also his home — apparently it takes too long to come down to the ground each day to make it worthwhile. When the building is completed, its elevators will be the worlds fastest. Stories about his daily dalliance with death are discussed in revered terms by D ubai 's workers. Some say he has been up there for more than a year, others whisper that he's paid 30,000 dirhams ($8,168) a month compared with the average wage of 800 dirhams a month. All agree he's worth it.

jeromeroselli Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I find it hard to believe he lives in the crane year round.. but I guess it's possible. 8k a month not enough for that job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
