I was demonstating the technique to the sucessful candidates (read
survivors) at a basic training "smoker" way out in the boonies. Hit the cap
a bit hard, bottle shattered and laid open half the palm of my hand. Blood
and beer, hell of a combination-never show pain or weakness in front of the
troopies. 22 stitches when we got back to camp the next day, but the kids
were impressed!!
Cheers!,
Ian (retired mud gunner).
