LOL!

Yep.

When I was a young buck, I was a professional roofer.
That's hot work down here in Louisiana.
I would carry 70-85 lb bundles of shingles up a ladder and across a large roof all day.
Tearing off old shingles was even harder work. Much harder.

After years of doing that in the blazing 100 degree Louisiana sun, I could kiss my cubicle.

Your experience with roofs reminds me of my single father friend who's 16 year old son woke up one day and announced he did not need to go to school any more. My fiiend said,"Your sure about that?" Yes! he replied. Well then you can come and start working if you think you have had enough schooling. The boy was excited about that. The job of the day, tearing off an old roof. The boy went back to school the next day!
