The video below shows a Scottish construction worker cleverly trying to land a hard hat on his head by creating a catapult with a piece of lumber. It doesn't go very well.

Hey, at least he had a hard hat.

So, you can blame that period in my life for taking the time to write about a concrete mix truck that’s been dressed up as a disco ball.
