Default RE: OOPS!=Stitches

About 13 years ago I saw a guy whack his fingers three times within an hours time! I was at a local pond where local RC club ran boats. A non member shows up to run his 40 size air-boat. He was informed that he would need join the club and get APBA insurance before using the pond. The park ranger periodically ask to see proof of this. Beyond informing people of this, the membership are told not to be confrontal. Ignoring the warning, he set about to run his pre-assembled air boat that was all the rage back then. It started quickly and he reach through the prop(tractor) to adjust the needle....THUMP! dead stop! OK, Einstein here is now beading like a stuck pig and should should seek medical attention. but he just wraps up his fingers in the paper towel a member offered and proceeds to start the engine again. And once more THUMP! He's a bit miffed now, and dammed determined to run this thing....or not waste a trip to the ER with only two cuts. You guessed it a third time yet.....his other hand! At this point he is more than miffed and inventing new words, but does he quit?.....nooo, not our hero. He gets it running and finally on the water. The boat runs around a while but gets stuck on the thick algae mat near the middle of the pond. The club recovery row boat was long gone now so our hero, with his gaping wounds jumps in this stagnant late summer water to recover his boat. oooowwkaaaayy???[sm=bananahead.gif]
