Does the pamphlet contain any information on how to rip the jeans of a damsel in distress and administer first aid :lol:

I wonder if a man with a big fat hairy butt would have got the same prompt medical assistance :lol: :lol:

Reminds me of the joke where 2 buddies are out in the woods drinking beer, and one feels the "call of nature" and goes to some bushes to relieve himself. Of course, there is a snake in the bush and he gets himself bit on his manhood.

So he calls out to his friend for help, his friend puts him in the truck and drives to the nearest gas station as they are in the middle of nowhere, which is closed so he calls the hospital from the pay phone. He describes the bite and the doctor say they are too far away from help so he has to administer first aid.

His friend asks what the doctor says, and the man says "I have to tie a tourniquet on it!" so the guy gives a big groan but lets his buddy tie a tourniquet around it.

Then the friend goes back to the phone and tells the doctor, the Dr says he has to make an incision next, and he goes back to the bitten guy.

The guy then asks, "what did the doc say?" and his friend says "He says I have to cut a large X over the bite!" and the guy gives an even bigger groan but lets him do it.

The the friend goes back to the phone and tells the Dr he made the incision, and the doc tells him he has to now suck the poison out.

So he goes back, the guy says "What did the Doctor say now?"

And his friend says....

"The Doc says you're gonna die!"
"What if he had no knife? In that case he would not be a good bushman so there is no need to consider the possibility." H.A. Lindsay, 1947

Good one a similar idea was used by the old barclay card advertising with rowan atkinson aka Mr. Bean Starring as a bumbling detective and his all knowing side kick. Great jokes often lead to great advertising films.

Another one.

A man goes to pee and gets stung on his d**k by a bee.The man is taken by his wife to a doctor ,writhing in pain with the bitten area all swollen up.As the doctor is about to examine him,the wife,obviously not satisfied with her husbands assets, draws him aside and says,"Doctor,make the pain go away but not the swelling"

Zune,

I will reserve one copy for you but before I send it I would like to see some participation from your end. When I am convinced that you actually do want to learn to shoot, I will let you have one.

penpusher,
actually not in graphic detail :evil: maybe in ver 1.2?? :mrgreen:
getting these 'second skin ' jeans off any modern day missy is such a b***h! (pun intended) 8)
For the recalcitrant ones, we use the the HUUUGE trauma shears, and just 'normal' trauma shears for the cooperative ones, hirsute or not!
I'd ensure that the snake not be attached to the butt when attempting to remove jeans- hairy or otherwise... ;)

Do you have any book on how to recognize snakes?

Last year in November we went to corbett and I caught a snake in the jungle without knowing whether it was poisonous or not.

I feel it was something like rat snake... since it was like 5 to 6ft long. I can post the picture of that snake.

Was the snake I caught. It was very cool never once tried to attack.
