As I was sitting here writing my holiday greeting cards, I began to wonder about proper rigging for a long white beard. I mean, if any of us are diving on Christmas, then Santa will have to come into a cave, or down the smokestack of a wreck, and I was just wondering how he'd be rigged for the dive. Of course he'll be rigged according to DIR principle for the hardware, but I'm trying to figure out the beard. I know he wouldn't tuck it down the front of his suit, as 'stuffed' things are bad on a rig. At first I was thinking he could secure it with rubber bands or surgical tubing, but then it occurred to me if he had a primary beard failure, the bonded beard could be a tragic mistake. So, I'll put the question to the list...what is the DIR method for stowing long white fluffy beards? Happy Holidays, and safe diving... -Case diveman@cy*.co* PS- In this time of having posts taken the wrong way, I guess I should add my disclaimer. THIS POST IS INTENDED AS HUMOR. It should not be inferred that fat men, with large, bowl-full-of-jelly-type cookie guts should be technical diving. Of course, I guess the ability to pull off amazing feats of strength, speed, and agility is something Santa Claus is familiar with. Perhaps that's part of the magic of Christmas.... -- \ \ ^_ \ \ Case E.
