Near death experiences.

Well if they keep George Best alive for so long then there's hope for us
all. There was a story in the local paper about a guy who went in hospital
for a runny nose problem. They accidently drilled through the top of his
skull and just discharged him in the hope he was a hat wearer and wouldn't
notice. Result near death collapse, brain damage, loss of use of one arm and
1.25 million quid payout.

The punchline came from his wife " and to make matters worse, he still has a
runny nose."

 

I bet he's pleased that his nose can still run..

 

I like the word *accidentally*. How on earth can you accidentally drill
through the top of somebodys skull instead of their nose.
<cue post from somebody about "What I did in the hospital once" under
the OMF thread>

 

But why do noses run and feet smell?

 

Apparently they thought the drill bit lengths were in cm but in fact they
were in inches.

 

You're built upside-down.

HTH

 

Heels over head.

 

Tit over arse.

FFS, only just caught up with this one! Glad you're over it and GWS.

 

Cheers mate.

<VBG>. I was pretty fit in those days thankfully.

However, i'd completely mis-read the route and got myself into trouble
very quickly.

Had other fun days out in Wales too, where a rock face turned into
'rocks embedded in mud' so once i'd pulled a few holds out about 20
metres up and showered my belayer with rocks, we decided it wasn't the
best route after all and I abseiled off.

Wasn't as blanching as that bare rock face though, I was quite
terrified.

Cheers

Paul.
