Dam! I thought I was being PC by pretending to be offended. Someone
needs to publish the rules. (As if the usenet isn't already full of
PC kops.) TP

PC RULE #1:
We don't make fun of retards like Bertie, even though
he is living proof that turkey eggs should be sold in
supermarkets.

Oh ouch. Anyhow, how do you even know I stil exist Kenny? You have me
killfiled, remember?



Nice airplane in the story. I've seen (and have) water
skiing wipe-outs at 40 mph, it's a case of rolling on
the surface. If true a 67 yo is lucky he didn't break a
few bones smakin the water.
A friend of mine broke his back when the ski rope
broke. His ass hit the water at ~30-35 mph with
rapid deacceleration centered on his lower vertabrae.

Bull****.

Bertie

Not likely the deceleration, but the bending and flexing of the
spine as he dug into the water. My back is all messed up from
waterskiing tumbles (and snowskiing wrecks, and lifting too much).
When you're young you're invincible.
