Hey Rebel. What kind of women do you like?

I figure the shock is what let him do it.

That and it was already mangled good.

He’s at least as tough as nails. He deserves a honors for saying “Not today” and doing what takes to stay in the game.

I met a farmer years ago who cut off an arm stuck in a corn picker. He said his father always told him to carry a pocket knife in each pocket just in case.

One uncle of mine lost half his fingers in a combine accident. Another one was caught in a field fire and burnt his legs, then lost his life from the infection. Farming isn’t for the timid.

Knew a guy in North Missouri who had a similar story except his grandson cut him out. He lost both legs at the knee and painted elephant toes on the prosthetic stubs.
He didn't like using the longer prosthetics. He became a private pilot.
Super guy, great attitude.

“I have had other incidences incidents. I try to hold my cool or figure out how to make the situation better at the time,” he said. “It’s hard to describe. You want to survive and you do what you need to do to survive, I guess.”

Damn newspaper reporter can't spell / can't distinguish "incidence" and "incident!"

And meanwhile, inner-city "yutes" are on welfare because they refuse to get up early in the morning to go to work.

Regards,

While we regularly play up the risks of being a “first responder”, those in other professions often put themselves at greater risk to life and, well, limb. Among them farmers and ranchers, loggers, fishermen, and even simple pizza delivery men.

I know a guy who stepped in a grain auger; he fell back when it got him, and his arm hit the off switch. He became a preacher.
