hand, to retrieve the hook, only to bury it into the flesh
My worst accident was one day when I had gone away for a weekend break and I
was carrying my pillow complete with tools etc into the hotel. I was

Oh yes, David,
the same happened to me some time ago. And it wasn't only to push very hard it
was, I couldn't see it, the point where two parts of the pillow came together
