Well if you’re drunk you’re loose as a goose so I can see why you didn’t hurt yourself lol I figure if they just hung straight down from the window by their arms their feet would be like 6 feet off the ground? lol
Wait a second. The fire was soooooo bad that it blocked thier way out. But it only did $6-8k damage?
And I’m sorry, but look at the 2nd story window. You can’t jump out of that to the ground? I’ve jumped farther drunk out of my mind and didn’t have a scratch.
