Here is a "different" method of shoveling snow.
Edited on Mon Dec-08-03 09:48 AM by underpants


With a good sense of humor, a topless Cambridge man who wished to remain unidentified shovels snow off the sidewalk on Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts, December 6, 2003. People across the northeastern United States on Sunday began to dig out from under the year's first major winter storm, which dumped more than a foot of snow, closed airports and left thousands without power.

4. All that booze can pack on the pounds
:shrug:

Hopefully the shovelling will give that gut a good workout!

5. I hope he did not have a heart attack
Those infrequent snow shoveling workouts kill the guys who are out of shape.

9. Yes there is a great risk of heart attack when shoveling snow
I've read/seen many warnings about not spending too much time at once shoveling snow. Take breaks, still it's a funny picture.

6. My first thought too, but doesn't Will Pitt live in Cambridge?
Maybe it's Will trying to work off a writer's block.

2. It's the hat.
You lose 90% of your body heat through your head. If you have a hat, you don't need much else!

LOL

8. That's what I was thinking.
Despite the fairly unpleasant sight he offers passersby, if he were to wear a shirt and/or sweater, he might overheat and have some sort of health risk.

But, honestly, at least a t-shirt would have helped those who happened to see him. :eyes:

7. Hey I've done that before
It doesn't take much shoveling in a winter coat before you start sweating your ass off

10. Hello From Waterville, Maine!
It took my wife and I 3 hours to dig our cars out AFTER our driveway was plowed! We took frequent breaks because we don't want heart attacks. She's (A YOUNG AND LOVELY) 40 and I'm (a breaking down & decrepit) 48. We don't want our 3 & 1/2 year old to be an orphan because we live in the North. By the way, we were both fully dressed, in my case, thank GOD for the kindness this does to the eyesight of others!
