Secret tips anyone?

[The Chairman]

Well, now that I have awoken from my codiene induced stupor...

For the first time since I started diving... I dropped the &%$* tank on my toe yesterday, which now has more joints than I was born with. I am changing your numbering system to mine and calling that tip #3,131. It will be followed closely! My MRI is at noon today and that will determine how they plan to straighten the pinky toe back. Visions of a toe rack come to mind, and the desire to descend to 130 fsw to forget the whole thing seems like a GREAT idea. I have managed to dodge all of the weights and other heavy metal objects up to this point... and today I am supposed to start my Instructor Training Course.

If it takes a felon to commit a felony, can we then assume that God is an iron???

ouch, ouch, ouch sympathy abounds my friend

A while back, while loading the car up after a confined OW class, I made the mistake of "agreeing" to take a tank back to the shop. In went my kit, then I pick up the second tank and placed it into the trunk of my car. Unfortunately I had my finger under the tank, so when I put the tank in the finger got "squashed" .... didn't stop me from going diving the next day (I didn't realise that I had broken it), my buddies helped me kit up, and we all had a great time.

NetDoc,

Ditto - OUCH!!

Instead of Lungs of Steel, maybe you need Toes of Steel.

but here's a few I will reveal to you

1. Never use a hole punch to put holes in your eyelids when tired

2. Don't get inside a washing machine if it is full of sharks

and

3. Always keep your sense of humour no matter how much of a pain Sunfish and Ber can be (last one is not true by the way, I love them both dearly!)

Wear hard soled booties. If you don't, you will amazingly find the only broken bottle shard buried on the entire beach.

Tip #3,133 Find creative uses for the sutures that the doctor removed from your foot. Fly fishing lures are one option.

NetDoc, ouch. Heal quickly.

I'll take the Beef Tips and rice...

Sorry, don't know what came over me. Actually the best advice I can give is the 3 simple rules that came from the knowledge of many accumulated pico seconds during several spells of beverage enhancement with my friends:

1. No matter where you go, there you are!

2. It takes a great big one to weigh 500 pounds!

3. Never turn down free food!


Now that I no longer drink (18yrs dry), I realize #3 should have been first.... hind sight is always 20/20.
