are you out of your GD mind

I freely admit I’m a complete fairy when it comes to heights, so there’s no number low enough to measure the odds of me ever stepping foot on the Ledge at the Sears Tower in Chicago.

…these new glass enclosures that extend 4.3 feet beyond the side of the building. Beneath peoples’ feet lies the sprawling Illinois city – 103 storeys, or 1,353 feet, below. Just an inch-and-a-half of glass separates the visitor from the street underneath. The attraction is due to open in June.

I wouldn’t care if you had guns aimed at my family six inches away.  Those fuckers better start making their peace with God because I’m not going anywhere near that thing, not unless I get bone cancer or something and my life was over anyway.   An inch-and-a-half of glass?  Jesus that has disaster written all over it.  At best I would peer over the entrance before I ran away like a little girl after a bug fell in her hair.
