Cable tie boy
This is from an old post but is most definately my most guillable moment.
When I was about 12 I was sent on an errand to the shops and along the way came a cross a boy that I had quite an interest in. I had seen him around and was taken aback when he crossed the road to talk to me.
He showed me a long piece of plastic that he had arranged into a loupe and asked me to put my finger inside the loupe explaining that it `tingled'.
I guess I knew that it wasn't really going to tingle but curiousity (and obviously fancying this lad) led me to do as he asked.
And guess what? The second I put my finger into the loupe he tied the cable as hard as possible resulting in a very tightly trapped pinkie for me!
By the time I had arrived home my finger was blue. My exasperated Dad chopped the cable tie off with a kitchen knife and was less than impressed with his guillable daughter.
I now know what cable ties are and the lad who did that is now dead (nothing to do with me obviously but some kind of karma I 'spose).

Whoa!
Your dad chopped off your finger with a kitchen knife?

BTW, if you need to know about cable ties, ask CHCB...

LOL!
The cable tie, not my finger silly! (Although he wasn't too gentle about it).
And what's this about CHCB?
Do tell......

I seem to remember
CHCB being all excited at the mention of ropes and cable ties at one point. For whatever purpose she used them, I don't know, but I do suspect it wasn't for tying cables together!
