   Actually, it reminded me of a story I once heard.   
      
   A local newspaper was giving away a free home medical reference... eg what   
   to do if your kid burns itself, etc. The thing came in several   
   installments, across several weeks, the idea being youd buy the paper every   
   sunday and collect all the sections.   
      
   I was told that one of the sections had bit on what to do if your son got   
   his nutsack caught in his zip. It went something like:   
      
   * Calm the child   
   * Examine the wound to ensure there is not a large amount of bleeding   
   * Lie the child on its back   
   * Continued next issue   
      
   You can imagine the hundreds of screaming children waiting a week for the   
   next section to be delivered..... anyway, i thought it was funny :)
