Subject: RE: BS: A (true) Jelly Fish story
OK, well, back to the actual topic.....

My dad used to amaze us all as kids (we were easily amused) by picking up a jellyfish by putting his hand on the top of the jelly and scooping it out of the water. He didn't get stung cause the uh, whatdaya call em, tentacles? stingers? are on teh underneath side. My brother, in an attempt to do the same, was not able to scoop properly and wound up holding the jelly in a way that made his hand very red and stung. We kidded him about that for years!
