Megan drops the temperature in New York


Megan was not happy with her main squeeze when he left her without the air conditioner working. The simple solution seemed to be asking the neighbor to install the air conditioner in the window three stories above the streets of New York. The neighbor came over and put the air conditioner in the window, but apparently he was under the influence of buzzweed. After the neighbor returned to his apartment to continue watching a movie Megan jiggled the air conditioner while on the phone to the neighbors girlfriend. Aforementioned air condition began its journey to the pavement below. Quick thinking Megan grabbed the cord before the unit completely left with both hands. Although the quick stop did burn her hands on the cord she had the air conditioner by the tail. Luckily she also managed to keep the phone up to her ear. She instructed the neighbor to quickly send Mr. Lefthanded cigarette back to help pull in the catch of the day. The two nittus wittus managed the feat, and the impaired neighbor rewired the unit. Megan is now cool, buzzweed is watching his movie, and life in New York is more comfortable now that the temperature has dropped, but not all the way to the pavement.

Looking for a picture for this blog, Lord Kadizzle came across the following story, which he hopes Megan reads: Yesterday morning, a 51 year old woman was hit by an air conditioner unit that fell out an East 104th Street window. The Post reports Lynda Kneish had been walking on the sidewalk when the AC tumbled from the third floor, and her "right leg was crushed, the bone shattered. She also suffered broken ribs, a broken pelvis, fractured vertebrae, and internal bleeding." Yikes. Kneish's husband, who was waiting for a friend nearby, said, "I came around and saw the police. I asked them what happened and then I saw my wife lying on the floor." It turns out maintenance men had been working on the AC, and it also turns out the Kneishes are "contemplating legal action." You know, if you're working on the AC unit, especially window units, isn't the number one thing to do is make sure it's totally secure?
