How To Deal With Trouble
September 17th 2006 00:05
A deputy sheriff responded to a report of a bar room disturbance.
The "disturbance" turned out to be well over six feet tall and weighed almost a mighty 300 pounds. What's more, he boasted that he could whip the deputy and Muhammad Ali too.
Thinking on his feet the deputy responded with, "I'll bet that you're also an escape artist....probably better than Houdini."
The giant man nodded.
"If I had some chains," the deputy continued, "you could show us how strong you really are couldn’t you. But all I've got on me is a set of handcuffs. Why don't you see just how quickly you can break out of them?"
Once in the cuffs, the man puffed, pulled and jerked for four minutes.
"I can't get out of these," the giant man growled.
"Are you sure?" the deputy asked. The fellow tried again. "Nope," he replied." I can't do it."
"In that case," said the deputy, "you're under arrest."

Actually the timing of this one for a friend of mine was quite good. They're having their backyard landscaped so it's a big muddy mess. Their 2 year old son however takes no notice of mud and went off full pelt into the destruction area. Not wanting to get ourselves dirty as well, but wanting him back out, I though of this blog and came up with an idea.
They'd laid some big stone edging around one corner of the yard and I asked the little boy if he was clever enough to walk along the stone edging, which coincidentally was an arms length away.
He of course proceede to show that he could, and we of course nabbed him when he walked within range.
So these blogs are now not just for fun purposes but are useful now in other ways.

Very ingenious. That's a good story. Kids do the darndest things.
We went to the Grand Canyon when our children were 13, 6, 4, 2, and 2 months. We, of course stopped and got out to look at the big hole in the ground, and the 6 year old, our oldest son, ran straight to the fence that was supposed to protect him from the drop off, and started to climb. The next two youngest were running that way when my husband grabbed 2 and I grabbed 1 and threw them back into the car and left.
If I had thought about it, we wouldn't have stopped, because that was typical of that child.

My brothers used to ignore all warnings when we were kids. I remember visiting the Warragamba Dam one day - one of them climbed up on the wall at the very top of the dam and was trying to get right up on top of the edge of the dam even though he was told repeatedly to get down. Then, to his ultimate horror, he accidentally dropped his favourite toy rabbit into the dam!
That was enough to stop him, but as for the poor rabbit. We could see where it had been caught up on the top of one of the pylons on the way down to the fast moving water.
