The TV show "Mythbusters" took on this urban myth,
and proved that it was at least possible. Turns
out that hoop barrels are a lot harder to break
than one might imagine.

This is hilarious! I'm not saying its an urban legend, but my sister sent this to me in an E-mail about three or four years ago.

Yes, it's a funny story; but it's just a story. Unfortunately, or fortunately (depending upon your frame of mind) this is an urban legend. Source

He should be ordered to take an elementary physics course. And a urinalysis test. Nobody can be so comically stupid and get worker's compensation.

He could be a star on the Bugs Bunny show. That was funny. I do not even care if it is true.

I remember my dad telling this story back in the late '80s. Still hilarious today.

I first heard a story very like that as an Irish song. It was pretty funny. You can hear it here: http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/sick-note.html
(Please respect their copyright: link to them, do not re-post the mp3.)
There is a link there to more info, taking the story back to 1937 or 1940: http://www.dickalba.demon.co.uk/happy/12_dec/1204s.htm
Enjoy.

This "bricklayer" obviously missed his calling as a gifted satirical writer. How many "bricklayers" do you know that can write like this?

If you watch Babe2: Pig in the City, you will find the opening sequence contains a very similar story.

However, the original story has been around for many years.

I think it is true.

Was this guy a Kerry supporter? He sounds stupid enough to be one!
