Glad to have some fun, as long as no one gets hurt!!! I threatened to tell the chainsaw incident: about 25 years ago I went to Zayre's and bought a little 8" electric chainsaw to cut my hedges and fruit trees, I climbed on a ladder and was reaching to cut some branches and the saw kicked, so I caught it with my hand. The palm was squirting out blood! I knew I had to get to an emergency room, but Barbara hates to see blood and I knew she would not be able to drive me if she was screaming and all, so I ripped off my shirt, and wrapped it around the hand to stop the blood from being seen. In a few seconds the blood was coming through the shirt and all over me, but I HAD to get stitched up. I went in the house and Barbara is yelling, and I said PLEASE keep calm and drive me to the hospital! She finally did and it only took a few stitches when the bleeding stopped. In a few days I was healed enough to clean the chainsaw, with my good hand....and bring it back to Zayre's. They looked at my bandage and did not even ASK why I was returning the saw! Since then, I pay a guy to trim the trees!
