Four years later, upon our return from China, I figured I would have another go. I hired a contractor to pulverize it to bits. I wanted to make sure that there was nothing left but dust when he was finished. He assured me that he would be able to do the job in one day using a jack hammer and I would finally be free. After eight hours of continuous jack hammering, he had hardly made a dent. What the hell is this thing made of? It's not possible. The contractor could not believe it either. I know, use a bigger jack hammer, you know the ones they use to bore through mountains, yeah that will do it. Bigger jack hammer, eight hours later the rock is still there, laughing at me, mocking me. I am not defeated yet. I have one last trick up my sleeve. I wonder if dynamite is legal?
