Over the weekend I spent nearly 2 days in a traumatic surgery
specialist unit.


a few years ago I used to have a rep call on me, about 4 times a year,
then he stopped, nothing was heard for a long time. then he appeared
and told me his tale

his garage and that of his neighbour were side by side with a gap of 10
to 12 inch between them. right at the end of the gap, at the rear of
the garage was a large tree that had growd and growd and needed
attention. he was up the tree with the power saw about to remove a
branch several inches diameter. he was sitting astride the branch,
about 3 feet from the trunk, with his back to the trunk, and had made
cuts in the branch when it gave way. NOT where he had cut, but BEHIND,
at the trunk.. the saw went one way, the branch another and him?
straight down into the gap between the buildings. one arm over his
head, the other up his back, and he was wedged like that some 5 hours.
bones muscle and flesh all severely hampered.

Me being me, [and knowing the fellow very well] said, wow, bet that
cured your slice.
as a matter of fact he said, yes it did. can't drive anywhere near as
far, but at least it goes straight.
