That story, or its many variations, is almost as old as I am.:laughing::laughing:

Very similar to the scene in young guns where Chavez e Chavez hollered "atsay, atsay" at his horse to get him to jump down a rather steep ravine, to evade a following posse. The slope was almost vertical. The rest of the "gang" followed down, in a tumble of horses and men. When they were safe, one of the gang members asked Chavez, "how did you get him to do that anyway?, what does that mean atsay?" Chavez e Chavez replied "it is an old Navajo word.".... It means Stop!.

Many years ago, in a galaxy far away...

Wait wrong context.

Any of ya old enough to remember those pink message notes that were so common in the days before email, text messaging and voice mail?

For those of you that are not, these were a pinkish piece of paper containing the time, date, contact info and brief message usually gathered from an incoming phone call. They were typically just thrown onto the desk of the intended recipient but it was also common for them to be stuck on a semi-sharpened (about a number 9) wire spike that protruded straight up from a paper weight on the recipients' desks.

One Saturday while working virtually alone in a large open office I pulled a desk away from the wall to get to an outlet behind it. I quickly reached over the desk and down the wall and got it unplugged. When I pulled my arm back up I got a weird feeling...something wasn't right. Too much weight. I looked at the back of it to find one of those message holders hanging off of it. When I reached over the desk I was looking straight down on the spike so it looked like a dot. I had to pull 4" of it out of my arm to get it to release. Then my first reaction was to look around to see if anyone was looking!

Did you get a tetanus shot? Never know.. How bad did it bleed? The more blood the better, hopefully washed out the wound.

Not much blood, but my arm was sore for about 3 weeks. I wasn't worried about tetanus - its anaerobic - or I was too tough (stoopid) to get it.

Lucky no nerve damage either...4 inches is a pretty serious stick.

You gotta admit the black knight had a lot of fight in him. Even no arms and no legs, he offered to do some ankle biting!
