Ever get a glove finger tip caught in a bind? I almost had my hand
sucked into a tugger that pinched the finger tip between two strands on
the spool. The glove squeezed like one of those chinese finger cuffs, I
just barely got my hand out in time.

I don't like gloves, jewelery, long hair, anything that can get caught
on running rigging.

Well, duh, Joe. Haven't you ever seen sailing gloves? Mine don't
have fingertips...the tips are exposed...the gloves come up over the
first joint and fit right...if they're lose, they're no good.
Peruse your West Marine catalog...they're in there...

Joe would like those gloves. It would be easier for him to pick his nose
with them.

Amen!

Mine have fingers except for the thumb and index finger. Warmer that way.
Don't care if I lose my small finger. :-)

Sounds like you could still pick and flick a booger on Crantz's
forehead with em.

No problem, but I wouldn't want to get that close. :-)
