[Boatanchors] Stupid Stunts

[Lloyd KK7IZ]

I am reminded of a certain Canadian comedy show called "Bizarre" hosted by 
John Byner, in which Dangerous Dave Osborn is the first person to ride a car 
through a car crusher.
"John...............John.....................John, get me out of here"
Long silence
"Oh well, I will just set here and watch the rest of the show through my 
bung hole"
Thanx
