Wal it could be worse. I had a feller manage a steel hawser for me one time by sticking his fingers under it just as the tug on the other end took up the slack. That boy couldn't get his fingers out from under the wire, and when they finally severed from his hand he was able to roll over and faint, so he did that. We picked up the two fingers he'd lost and sent them ashore with the ambulance but it was no use. HE was white as a sheet when we got him ashore.

Hell, just the tip, huh? Grace o' Gawd it wasn't a lot worse, Bobert!! Mazel Tov indeed!!
