They rescued another who got his member stuck in a vacuum cleaner, as well as 79 people trapped in handcuffs.

Personally I'd have gone for the George Foreman multi-grill before the toaster, gives a more even cooking and helps drain excess trans fats.

Don't gloat Hatch.

 

We've all been there.

 

Right?

 

BTW you omitted the London Fire Brigade spokesman's sage advice:

 

If the ring doesn’t fit, don’t force it on.

 

I've led my life by that aphorism and as a consequence I've never been stuck in my own ring, or anyone else's ring for that matter.

 

Whereas Toke lives in London, has a toaster, knows someone with a ring (FiL) and hasn't posted recently.

 

Just sayin'...
