Hah! Amos, I've known what the bitter end was since I was a wee little tad. AND I can tie a bowline, a bowline on a bight, a sheepshank, clove hitch, Prusick knot, sheetbend, and, well, I've plenty knots that I know. I can hitch a dinghy so it won't float away and reef a sail in a Force 5 gale. I'm half-horse and half-alligator, born of the lightnin' and...oh, dang. Sorry, I was getting carried away again.
