Brick wall

We all worshipped Johnny. We all worshipped Johnny Brick Wall.

Why Johnny Brick Wall? That's easy, Johnny once ran through a brick wall. Straight through it. We were talking about Superheroes and was Superman better than Batman and Johnny said that he bet that he could run through a brick wall. That he could run through the brick wall by the entrance to the car park where we were hanging out and talking DC/Marvell.

And then he did it. Bricks flying and Johnny laughing at us. From the other side of what had once been a wall and was now mostly a pile of bricks.

We were just gobsmacked. And then one of us kicked at the part of the wall that was still standing and it just fell over. When we looked at it, the wall wasn't stuck together - each bit of mortar was only stuck to one brick. It turned out that Johnny had spent the whole night taking the wall down, applying mortar to bricks, letting the mortar dry and then balancing bricks on top of each other to rebuild the wall so that it appeared whole but was ready to fall at the slightest touch.

And that was why we worshipped Johnny Brick Wall. Not because he could run through a brick wall but because he was the kind of genius who could come up with a plan like that and then spend a whole night making it work. All for the sake of a good laugh.
