Got me to thinking about how come such utterly ridiculous crap
never happened to me. The only real answer I can up with is: dumb
luck.


I've had a lot of hook accidents including picking a monster with more
treble hooks on it that you could imagine out of the back of my head
with a mirror. (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. :)
