(That client never went with me again, I'll tell you what.) I've got to believe that the double thumb hook up is a tall tale - as in urban legend or something. I second Doug's scalpel trick, but mostly when I seriously hook myself, as I do at least two/three times a year, I just cut one end or the other off and pull it through. That's where a handy little can of numbing spray can help a lot. :) Ice works well also. But, burying your head in same may not be too comfortable! -- *****Have a Spectacular Day!***** John H |
