This one isn’t a video; it is instead a story I overhead on Sunday, whilst I was enjoying my Sunday lunch. I enjoyed it slightly less afterwards, but then listening to a grisly tale when eating is not always wise.
I didn’t have much choice; a gentleman at the next table was regaling his friends with what happened to his acquaintance, a tree surgeon.
This tree surgeon, up a tree one day with his chainsaw, suffered some sort of stroke. The chainsaw severed his hand and, unable to get down from the tree, he bled to death in its branches.
His body had to be removed by friends when they discovered him.
Like many older people, this talkative gentleman revelled in sharing his gruesome ‘real-life’ story. Why is it, in fact, that the elderly love to share disgusting information, about their bowels or operations? Answers on a postcard please.
