Anyone know the story behind this shot?

And it isn't actually my photo, I just uploaded it. Don't know the original source.

Looks dicey to me, maybe they should have the kid on a rope? he looks to big for the egg toss, if you know the parents you might want to remove the post to keep them from Child Protective Services, FYI?

ahhrgh, sorry for the repost, didn't know it was already out there.

But the world is a better place with Puds photoshops in it.

During a big fire the firemen were having a bit of trouble. A woman was trapped on the fourth floor with her baby. The fire fighters instructed her to toss the child out the window, under which they had placed a net, but the mother refused.

Things looked grim, but then a tall, well-built man burst through the crowd and shouted to the women. He said "My name is O.J. Simpson, and I'm a professional football player. I can catch your baby safely, no problem. Just toss him down, and I'll do the rest."

The mother was still terrified that her baby would be hurt, but after a few minutes more of reassurances by Simpson, she finally gently dropped her child.

Simpson instantly sprang into action, eyeing the landing zone, and sprinting toward it. He had to run faster and faster, but at the last second, just before the baby hit the ground, he picked it out of the air. It was breathtaking, and all the onlookers cheered.

Simpson then raised the baby high in the air, slammed it on the ground, and shouted "Touchdown!".

Edit: Yeah, it's a bad joke. But told once long ago, around a climbers' campfire, and sort of on topic.

Father OUCH! would be proud. I'm sure he's looking down thinking, "Now why didn't he add in Locker, with a gapping mouth for a canyon.

Also, this shot of my granddaughter's first highball. Her purist barefoot thing is quite impressive, as is her reach. Also no fear of shitting her pants when facing a long one.

I know this couple. I'm withholding their names out of the fact that I would never question anyone's treatment of kids.

There are a LOT of other and way bigger fish to fry.

I was thinking right away that looked like Jeff Leads.

Some Photoshop magic going on here?

What's up Jeff? I haven't seen you around in awhile. Hope all is well.
