Re: [base75] The Washington Monument
Past Executive Director of the USPA, the late Bill Ottley, was giving me the nickel tour of DC in that outrageous big red Cadillac convertible he had. And he caught me eyeballing the WM and said, "Don't even fucking think about it!"

And just because "everyone" hasn't heard about it doesn't mean it hasn't been done . . . Wink

Plus you can't open those windows without breaking something.
