I remember that bent activity, if I remeber correctly wasn't there a
discussion about air lifting the victim (of himself) off the boat.
Someday Jim will age a bit more, as his son grows, then he will understand
this state.

Yes it is true,I was that diver.The facts may have been a bit stretched,but
I did not know how bad it was until this morning.When I awoke the pain that
was in my shoulders and left knee the day before were gone,it was only
seconds before I knew they were not truly gone but had moved to a different
appendage.The pain was almost unbearable,as I raised the sheets to
see,There was no doubt I was bent.At a 20 degree bend to the left there it
was.Jim was not there to help me as he was the day before,So I let mother
nature take her course and when I went to the bathroom to relieve myself
(take a piss) I was cured.She held no ill feelings toward me for poking the
sharks as they got to close eating the fish that the fishermen had left
there.And at my age I still get bent every morning,which shows what great
shape I'm in.:)
