Thank God There Were No AOOOOOGAs

We've had construction workers uselessly stomping away on our roof at the Paper Printing Place for the past two weeks, and today was especially bad.
You know what that means, friends. Yes!
It's time to play "Match that sound up with its corresponding action"!!!!
(I'll work on the title....)

Ten points to whomever matches them all correctly!

_______

A. Members of our completely competent construction crew (ooooh alliteration) losing their grip on huge chunks of roofing material, sending them clattering down the side of the roof, whizzing past our windows, and smashing on the ground below.

B. The gentle and almost unnoticeable sound of pieces of ceiling tile, tiny fragments of metal, and dirt snowing at a steady pace onto my desk, computer, head, etc.

C. Some sort of power saw sander noisemaker thing getting gradually closer, and closer, and CLOSER OMG RIGHT OVER MY HEAD and farther, and farther.....

D. Seven or eight workers sawing at the same time, at different paces, with hand saws. At least, I assume they were hand saws. It was like we were in a lumberyard. In 1832.

E. Any one of the numerous leaks which sprung up over our workstations. It wouldn't have been so bad, except the water was rust-colored and smelled a little like death.

F. God, I have no idea. But whatever it was, I really wanted it to stop.

I would guess, but I've never received my well-earned recognition for the Baby!Bro travel contest. So I'm not going to bother anymore.

Oh man, this is hard. I feel like I'm back in high school. I can feel myself getting hot and nervous, wondering if Sr. Nichols is going to see my face turning red as panic sets in. No wonder I chose majors that incorporated subjectivity into the tests.

I may be wrong on a few...
