JohnRich 4 #10 December 17, 2011 Quotethe director walked through a door and there was no floor on the other side. I've actually done that before. I was working in a set of trailers, and unbeknownst to me, some workers had pulled away the stairs outside the door and were building a wood deck. I opened the door and stepped out just like always, fell three feet to the pavement, and woke up a minute later wondering how they hell I got there like that.
