Jim, butt-mounting a light is so stupid that I did not even think to
mention it. I do cover mutiple stages, and the other things, but there
are no examples of "bad" - for that we have the training agency tapes. 

Keven Gurr has one out there showing how to stuff a hose in the bondage
wings - a classic. Normally  if one were to veiew something like this by
a Britt, one would assume that once again the British sense of hunmor
had scored a home run  - and then you realize that the guy is serious.

When viewing that tape, just picture Peter Sellers playing Gurr, and be
glad "it's not my dog".
