Make sure your hands are dry

[Brian]

Get this folks, this morning I'm getting some antifreeze for my car, driving home I spill coffee on my hand, hot, and after the ten minute drive home, quite sticky. I wash my hands at home and dry them, and go back out to my car to put the stuff in my car, I opened the seal with my Native, holding the knife, in the normal position, and the clip froze to the palm of my hand. Being the great intellect that I am, I simply remove the knife from my hand, needless to say, I have a nice little mark in the shape of the Spyderco pocket clip on my right hand.

Reminds me of &quot;Raiders of the Lost Ark&quot; except that the guy got burnt with heat. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Make sure you get the other side of the Spydie mark as well, just in case you go to SpyderLand to find the Ark of the Spyder. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I was thinking more &quot;Home Alone&quot; myself, but being compared to Indiana Jones is a good ego booster.

&quot;Snakes, I hate snakes...&quot;

[Kahz]

LOL! Yes, I can see how that is. Just remember that Indy is not the one with the mark on his hand, although, we can ignore that little detail. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Your Spydie belongs in a museum, btw. Any strange glyphs on it? <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

The only thing that might qualify as strange is the #151 on the blade next to the thumb hole.

Hmmm... did it come with a treasure map? It might be the number of steps to take to the &quot;X&quot; (oh, that's the third movie, forget it...) <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[Brian]

It did come with a map. It leads straight back to the store I got it from to get more.

Uh-oh... follow your destiny, my good man... <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Hey Brian... have you ever put your tongue on a metal flag pole or fence pole in the dead of winter? (NOT!!!) By the way... a few drops of that antifreeze would have removed your hand with the skin. But then I'm a better coach... I got frostbite on my thumb from taking a bunch of pictures without my glove on while winter backpacking in the mountains.

Gary ... &quot;It grew back.&quot;

[Lsaulog]

LOL to all!

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, Brian. Just think, it could have been worse!

As the knight from the Last Crusade said, &quot;You chose, wisely..&quot;

Now have we learned anything boys and girls?

[Gary]

We learned... &quot;to use duct tape to cover our knife clip to avoid donating some skin to it in freezing weather.&quot;

Gary
... the two most useful items I own... Spydies and duct tape...

[Brian]

My brother likes to say that duct tape is one of the lesser known universal elements.
That and Corona.

[Kahz]

Yuk! Corona, ugh! (take this from a Mexican). Try Bohemia or Indio (dark), they are MUCH better. Corona is not one of the preferred beers in its native country, makes you wonder why... <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

So, duct tape, right? My SS Native is at &quot;rest&quot; during the winter, I am now carrying my Calypso Jr. Lwt. due to similar feelings about the mix of cold weather and steel. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

[Brian]

Bless you my good woman. You have converted me to the path of true beer, but now I can never go back to the old ways, oh well.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

&quot;Cash, I have faint memories of that stuff.&quot;

Q. Why is duct tape like the &quot;Force&quot;?

A. It's light on one side, dark on the other and holds the Universe together.

I did a search while I was trying to remember that joke (still not sure if I got it right) and found this site http://www.octanecreative.com/ducttape/. Check it out, it's hilarious.
