To be fair, he claims that he did not know the sellfone was in his pack...
but then the article describes him as "slipping toward death" with his
temperature measured at 97*. Oh pleaseeeeee. I'm lucky if I'm 97* right
now. Roughly 20 years ago, after marching two miles through a blizzard (to
give blood on a New England Saturday morning), I had to wait 15 minutes
before I showed up on the "new" digital thermometers (at 95.5 or 96* --
something ridiculous). I was *truely* athletic at the time, too, so my
pulse was rudely under 60 bpm. And no coffee yet, either. (I'd stayed in
bed as long as I could.) Butttttt, since I was the only person there, they
took me. (Nowadays, they want to know my mother's maiden name. Yeeesh!)
Anyway.... "97*" and "slipping toward death"? Gimme a break. They shoulda
seen me n' Stitches last week, me giving new meaning to the phrase "blue
moon" every morning. Shootfiredang.
