A group is climbing in the Alps when one of them slips and falls down a deep crevasse. His teammates lower a rope down to him and tell him to grab hold of it.
"I can't" he shouts. "I've broken my arm".
"Well, use your other hand" the rescuers call back.
"I can't" he shouts back. "I've broken both of my arms".
"Can you wrap the rope round your legs?" they ask.
"No, I've broken both my legs".

After some discussion, they call down "you're going to have to grip the rope in your teeth". There then begins a long and painful haul to the top of the crevasse. As he's nearly reaching the top, one of the rescuers leans over the precipice and asks him "Are you managing OK?"

Back comes the reply "Yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh".
