Heh.

Tha's true, lamplighter. Not impossible, but heroically difficult.

This one time, at band camp (not really band camp, scout camp actually, but band camp sounds funnier) a nighttime trip to the kybo resulted in one of the scout's maglites being dropped into the pit.

Shit.

No, really. Shit.

Ironically, the light had tumbled as it dropped and landed vertically, shining straight up. You know how you're not supposed to shine a light directly in your eyes? That's true for all your eyes. Anyhow, this pit was pretty full, and the mound onto which it stuck was high, high enough to tempt us to fashion a rigid wire noose for an emergency extraction. One of the other dads got that shitty assignment, and the light was rescued.

Now I know it's not worth it.
