once there was a little old ant
thought he'd move a rubber tree plant
everyone knows an ant cann't move a rubber tree plant!
but he had high hopes, he had high hopes...

When I was in High School, Louie Wagner drove a 32 horse Volkswagen to school. Four of us larger fellows would leave at lunch and pick up his car. Sometimes we'd walk it down the block, sometimes we'd move it to the other side of the street and facing the wrong way. When we moved it in front of the school's front door the Principal stepped in and said not to do that again as it created a fire hazard.

You hear about people doing these sort of "super human" feats of strength sometimes individually, sometimes collectively. I think people are capable of doing amazing things when a booster shot of adrenalin is pumping through their system.

LOL, we used to do the same thing to a 5th grade teacher. We would carefully set it back down between columns with about 6 inches to spare between both bumpers and the columns.

I can't explain what happened that day about 8 - 10 of us lifted that car off of that little boy. It was if it didn't weigh hardly anything at all, but it was a full size 5000+ lb automobile. We actually had to ease up some to steady it and maintain control.
