so i dont seem to be an A$$ hole my self... i was refering to the fact that
if i was over my head and i did not call for a rescue or somehow arrange one
i would not want them picking up my unconscience body and charging me or my
family.  i would completely accept a rescue and pay for it in full plus more
if i "ASKED" for one.  just thought it wise to clear that up or at least try
to clear that up

speaking of wise, wise are great potatoe chips... hoo hoo said the owl
