Years later I'M laughing about it from just reading your note!! I'm sure
that hurt a lot, but I'm sorry there was no one there with a Videocamera!
You'd STILL be getting royalty checks!

That is nothing. You ought to try molten steel in your EAR.....you can
really hear it sizzle!!! I cutting the modified front bumper off my GPW a
few years back and had weld pop which sent a glob of hot steel into my left
ear........deep into my ear canal. I think it was sitting against my
eardrum as badly as it hurt and as loudly as it sizzled. I promptly threw
the still burning torch to the ground and danced the dance of the insanely
painful injured person. Not fun for me. My buddies got quite the laugh out
of it.
