I may trust engineers, but I don't trust manufacturers. You'd never find me standing on that thing.

I'll bet someone walked in there and started jumping up and down to see what would happen 
Seriously you wouldn't catch me standing in that glass enclosure.

I've jumped out of airplanes, I've zip lined off of a helicopter and climbed a cliff. But I even look at that and say "No chancey Mr Whalen"

What??? They renamed it the Willis Tower? That just sounds stupid. It should be the Sears Tower.

First thought when I heard they renamed it was "what you talkin 'bout Willis?"
Yeah, I wouldn't go on that. Maybe I'd go if I was up in the Calgary Tower.

Ahh, you know, it would be an awesome sensation.
And hey, if it gave out...well, that's be a sweet way to go, I reckon.

A lot of people don't realize the Sears Tower is about as high as our vaunted CN Tower.
But they pale in comparison to a new building in Dubai. Man, whoever gets to be on top has the highest office in the world.
