As someone who has actually been in a real physical encounter in the last week, I could add loads to this thread, but do not intend to incriminate myself by giving details to a crime affecting nobody but me and one other guy, when neither of us wishes to involve the police.

Still don’t get the reference. Are you asking if I got in a meaningless argument, or something? And it wasn’t a razor nick, it was caused by a boulder about half the size of my head, which if I had been a fraction slower, would have hit me full in the face, in case you really wanted to know. For anyone interested, I’ve decided I’ll answer any queries you might have anyway, and if anyone from officialdom gets involved, I’ll just say “I was lying on the internet…everyone does it!” ---

No need for details. The pics speak for themselves. It was all a joke. Sorry you didnt get it. My humor can be a bit odd at times to say the least. I was just trying to make light of something that could have obviously much worse. Glad it wasnt the case for you! take care. ---

Thanks for the considerate thoughts then. I did have a feeling you were being more light-hearted than snarky, but we were in the Pit and it’s hard to tell with this typing malarkey. ---

> [@curlcoat](#): > > Uh, what? Oh, yeah! I first became aware of this about ten years ago, the summer my oldest boy, Bill Jr. died. You know that carnival comes into town every year? Well this year they came through with a ride called The Mixer. The man said, “Keep your head, and arms, inside the Mixer at all times.” But Bill Jr, he was a DAAAREDEVIL, just like his old man. He was leaning out saying “Hey everybody, look at me! Look at me!” Pow! He was decapitated! They found his head over by the snow cone concession.
