Man Gets Job Holding Building Up
Dallas - After the near collapse of the Wood Building in
downtown Dallas, Boris Haspotch, the world's strongest
man, came to the rescue.A cornerstone of the newly
constructed building was crumbling into dust, and the
building was dangerously close to collapse. Haspotch
realized the danger, and ran over, placing himself under
the east corner, and leveling the building until the
occupants retreated to safety. When help arrived, they
were stumped as to what to do next. A new cornerstone
would take 14 days to arrive to at the scene, and they
were faced with having to demolish the 35 million dollar
office tower.
Construction Supervisor Bill Clemens offered Haspotch
10000 dollars a day to remain as a "human" cornerstone
until the concrete cornerstone was replaced. Haspotch
agreed, and had been holding the building up ever since.
Life has returned to normal and most occupants of the
building come and go during their working hours.
Haspotch has made only one request - that people over
300 pounds wait until the concrete cornerstone is in place
before they enter the building.
"I may be strong, but why take a chance and let fatsoes in
the building....".
