Hah!! You thought I meant three Busses, didn't you?
Well, you're wrong, but I couldn't think of a better place for the story to be appreciated.
As of this date, I'm the only person I know capable of pulling the famed, much-coveted "Triple Stick."
"So Rainmaker," you say, "what the #$(*#& is a TRIPLE STICK???"
Allow me to explain.......
Last night, waiting for my wife to get home, I decided to have a second splash of Cognac. My perspective was a little off and it turned out to be a pretty healthy splash, but wait - I'm getting ahead of myself.
So I'm in the garage, the heater's fired up, I'm talking to a buddy on the phone, I've got a cigar going, I've got my glass in my hand, I've got the phone cradled between my ear and shoulder... and I decide to pull my LCC out of my pocket for a little opening practice.
Well you know, you can't have opening practice without a little pocket - to open - to reverse grip practice....
And this all went fine for quite awhile........
And then I decided to put the knife up.
And I went to flip it around to a standard grip so I could close it.....
And it slipped.......
And it sliced open my ring finger......
And it bounced out of my hand and it stuck me in the thigh.......
And it fell out of my thigh, and it hit me in the foot.....
In the instep.....
Through my hiking boot.....
Through my sock........
And it just stayed there. Standing straight up and quivering, like a great big Woody.
So I look at my finger and it's bleeding.....
And I look at my leg, and it's bleeding.....
And I look at my boot, and the knife standing straight up in my boot... er, in my FOOT....
And I say.....
"Oh man. This is gonna HURT."
............and I was right.
1/2" slice in my finger.
3/8" gash in my thigh.
1/4" cut in my foot. From looking at the blood-line on the knife, I'd say it's close to bone-deep.
Three wounds from one slip - can anyone top that?
(Sorry, no pix - I refuse to crawl on top of my scanner just so I can share. But you know, if I had just a little more cognac........)
