WINDOW WASHER FALLS ASLEEP 20 STORIES UP?

Talk about no worries!

A window washer working on a downtown Nashville high-rise building apparently fell asleep on the job. The man was cleaning the glass on the 20th floor of the Fifth Third Bank building on Church Street Friday when several onlookers noticed he was not moving. No one could tell if he was sleeping or passed out because he was 20 stories high, but they could see that he wasn't moving.

Nashville Fire Chief Henry Booker said the worker was taken to Baptist Hospital to be checked for a rapid heartbeat. My heart would be a little racy too! I don't know how he could be so relaxed 20 stories high, that he would just decide to take a little nap. This last sentence is so blase (from an article in the Tennessean):

"It's unusual to fall asleep outside while on scaffolding that high up," Booker said."

Unusual?? I'd say it's a little more than unusual!
