    Re: How NOT to clean your chain

    When I had my toe ripped off I went for an xray and on return found the room full of trainee doctors, they had all been got out of bed to observe my misfortune as it was a compounded dislocated fracture.
    I was told it is the first time any of them had seen one outside of the classroom.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Actually it was a traumatic amputation, although technically is could be described as a complex, dislocated fracture but that's just being pedantic. Also, in 20 years of nursing I have never seen medical students out of bed at night without a pint in their hands

    They may not have been in bed but they may have been in the Bar.

    Re: How NOT to clean your chain

    i used to lube my chain like that, but would never put my fingers near it since when i first did my cbt, my instructor warned us about twisting off our fingers and demonstrated with a pencil.

    my first thought was "what a prize cock", but if he didnt know any better? poor guy, hes really lucky only the tips went and he isnt handicapped, scuse the pun......
