ooh! brings back memories fo my childhood in
Huntingtonshire in early seventies....pretty assistant
teacher was having me help her cut up paper for an art
project with that BIIG paper chopper....ugh! ;-( had to
dig around for the bloody digit and they rushed her off to
the hospital this time...previous time was me and a the
apparent normal rover owner first blunt-heat trauma
incident! that's another story....american children were
treated different in England...
..oh and no..I was not pulling down teh lever on the pape
cutter. I did learn a few choice words that I would never
have expected from a lady though! ;-0 it too was
re-attached successfully to disprove teh horror stories
about british hospitals..
