Subject: RE: BS: Funny story about pacemakers
I keep thinking about a sweet lady I once knew. Her father-in-law had a pacemaker inserted and he was to come and live with her. She was happy to care for him but had one great fear. "They have a detonator built in to them", she told me -- of pacemakers. "When they wear out -- they just explode. Can you imagine the mess if it explodes when he's sitting in my kitchen?"
I could. I still can. The image burns more brightly than ever now. Cheers, Joy
