Some days, it just doesn't pay to clock in at work.

Only a congenital moron would try to move a load stacked that tall with a fork lift.

Still, I might pitch in and help with the cleanup if I was rewarded with a few free samples when it was done... 

I was working on a highway job on I-71 near Mansfield, OH many years ago when a tractor trailer loaded with Maker's Mark bourbon rolled over and scattered its mostly-unbroken contents down a tall, steep embankment. Believe me, we had LOTS of help cleaning up that mess -- there were folks swarming that ankle-bending 2:1 slope like ants, stuffing bottles in their pants and waddling away with their fists full of Kentucky's pride. Years later, on a Turnpike project, we had another tractor trailer roll over on a circle ramp and dump its load -- Kroger brand apple juice -- all over the place. Just couldn't get anybody to help out with that smelly, sticky mess.
