YTC numbers

My wife was reading some of the threads in this group earlier [1] and asked
about the codes at the bottom of the messages and in particular the YTC#.
So I explain the meaning of this to her. [2]
At this point she just starts laughing and I am sat here, thinking the
bloody woman has lost it and start thinking about somewhere that will take
her in.
The COW [3] gets up and says, with tears in her eyes that if what I had just
said was true then I would have a number and would have been presented with
a plate for some of the things I have done in the past!

You know what the worst thing about this is.... Yep, she is right. So will
antics such as using my hand to store a large screwdriver in and resting the
back of my hand on a hot exhaust twice in 5 mins allow a retrospective
number or am I safe.

Full stories available if needed, but I know you will not make me explain!


[1] yes, I know. IDIOT!
[2] I deserve a number just for that stupid move alone
[3] I will make sure she does not see that one

You are safe on two counts:

1) You don't get one by asking for it.
2) The KoTL has departed this froup, and accordingly the list is dead.

Un-cork me to reply

 

though stupid things resulting in injuries could mean a DIAABTCOD
number. post away, I could do with a laugh.

<[email protected]> bored us all completely to death with
wittery prose along the lines of:

Nah, bollox. You need to do something particularly spectacular to get
a YTC number.

 

Ooo - me too. I'm glad I escaped a YTC for repeatedly putting forward
my story of being burnt by two AA batteries every time the list came up
- I didn't realise I'd been awarded #1 until some months later.

 

But I'm not :=)

 

<waves>

 

This seems as good a time as any to point out that the Daft Injuries
Above And Beyond The Call Of Duty numbers could do with reinforcement.

Bear in mind that numbers already awarded are for such gems as
electrocuting yourself with two AA batteries and licking electric model
railway track to see if it makes your tongue tingle.

Would electrocuting yourself with railway track

(or those overhead cable thingies) count?

An ex-teacher that I used to work with once recounted how one of her pupils
had removed himself from the gene pool by the expedient of pissing from a
bridge onto the overhead power cable of the line beneath. I believe that
this was somewhere in the Hertfordshire area.

 

I don't know but suspect that this is a most unlikely way to kill you.

For a start the electricity is going to want to find the fastest route
to earth and thats probably through the dick and legs and not across the
chest (which is what would stop the heart).

However I could well be wrong, this one just has too much of a ring of
the urban myth about it.

 

Doesn't qualify, 'cos you did it deliberately. You sick bastard ;-)

Too late, I got it.

 

Serf said that the pupil removed himself from the gene pool,
not that he killed himself. Given the conductive properties
of urine, he could easily have sterilised himself.

OTOH, my mate once peed over a 25Kv wire with impunity.
The golden stream breaks up into droplets after a few feet
so doesn't conduct electrickery.

I, however, was prosecuted for maliciously stopping a train when
I got 25Kv across my chest. It brings tears to the eyes!

Well, I, for one would like to hear more detail on that.
