> The Flying Dutchmen Rescue Squad (that was their unofficial nickname, most were from the local High School whose teams were called that) had been inaugurated just the previous week, and we were their first bonafide medical emergency. They pried Pops out of the wreckage and took us to the hospital.

So you’re saying that the Flying Dutchmen came to the rescue of the Crashing Dutchmen? 😃

Some days you reap oats, other days the oats reap you.

> **Qadgop** , correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s not that uncommon for someone with a major, major injury like a snapped femur, for instance, nonetheless focusing more on a relativley minor injury, like a severely bitten tongue?

One focuses on the injured tongue because it **hurts so freaking much!!!**. The tongue is extremely rich in sensitive nerve endings thruout it’s thickness.
