amputation
well my instructors were great, and every now and again they would bless us w/ a great story... one of those that had us hanging to every word... here is the best one. we live out in texas, so roughnecking is a big deal here (working on oil rigs)
these roughneckers were setting up for a new drill site, and one of the guys pushes a pipe through, and his arm gets caught up in it, and pulls that sucker right in. his coworker thinking on his feet, grabbed the guys arm, threw it in the cooler in the back of the company truck, and high tailed it to the emergency room. these guys were a few miles out of town, called the er en route, and they were supposed to meet up with a box, but took some odd route and made it to the er first. the coworker helps his buddy into the emergency room, leaving his truck parked across the street from the ambulance entrance. some 'hoodlums' were walking by the hospital, saw a company truck unattended, saw the cooler and thought to themselved 'alright, free beer' this is a big cooler, so each guy grabs one end of the cooler and walk down the street with it. as they're getting the guy in the er stable, they ask his friend 'where's his arm'? the guy runs out to his truck, then runs back in, and said that someone took the cooler... they called the pd, and the police caught up with the 'hoodlums' a few blocks away, they were taken into custody and charged with "armed robbery"
