Indeed…..some lessons are learned by stepping so far out of bounds one is firmly hemmed up against the fence on the other side, from the outside. The asinine and comprehensive safety warnings don’t address these imbecilic adventures, because not even lawyers are evil and cunning enough to imagine them, and those who survived them aren’t talking. Ever. Maybe out of caution to avoid self-incrimination, or more likely, to maintain ownership and patent rights for something sublimely freakish, or embarassing, or to weasel enough space to try it again to figure out if it is repeatable or was a fluke.
And the scars to prove it.
i have lost count of the scars. the Dock’s still say Damnnnn when i take my shirt off. i have had a lot of fun and survived it into old age through the grace of God.
youth in the 60’s and working in the trades can be rough on a fellow.
i wouldn’t have traded it for nothing, it was a blast.
And I will never admit it either way.
It would be difficult to find a young person to teach the sh*t to, not impossible but difficult, in this “modern” era.
the ability of people to think outside the box is waning fast. they are too dependent on the internet to solve their problems for them.
what ever happened to analytical thinking,
how many people on the road could change a flat tire now? or even know which direction to turn a lug nut.
that’s how road service crews make money.
Cars nowadays don’t even HAVE a spare, much less the tools to change one!
Cheapass Detroit bastards.
Hallucinations?
I work in a Hardware store. You would not believe the idiocy I see day to day. One example. A customer came in saying she locked her keys in the car and wanted to know if we have a ” kit” to get into her car. I pointed her to the hammers on display. I had to explain we do not sell kits on how to break into cars.
