Guy's hiking through some caverns and a boulder falls, lands on his arm, and he’s trapped there for 5 days. He’s pulling and tugging but his arm won’t budge. . . for 5 whole days. No sleep, no food, forced to drink his own pee when finally, completely out of options, he pulls out a pocket knife and cuts off his own arm to set himself free. He goes to look for help and comes across some other hikers who call the paramedics. They show up in a helicopter to fly the man to the hospital and then they double back to try to retrieve the arm.
The paramedics thought they could pull out the arm.
This had to piss off the hiker a little bit don’t you think? He probably didn’t even want to get on that helicopter. “Hold on just one minute. . . I’d like to see these guys try.”
I can just picture the guy, sitting off to the side watching, eating a cheeseburger, laughing to himself.
“I tried that. Tried that too. Yeah you’d think that’d work but it just makes it worse.”
Paramedics quit after 5 minutes – just exhausted. “Sorry sir but your arm’s really stuck in there.”
What’d they expect? That they’d see the arm stuck there and give it a quick tug?
“There. Just had to wiggle it a little. Here you go.”
