@Horton.....I agree! Both elbows were in tournaments, I skier fell around the ball and his arm went through the handle, the other was an idiot who missed the ball and then hooked his arm through the rope to ride back to the dock but skied over and buried his tip in the wake.....now in Mr Firkin's case it was just one of his many incidents during the "Summer of Bruce". He skied several times without running a pass...then after he ran one he broke his ski on the next pass. Then ordered a new Goode, it came in with a different bottom than it was supposed to have. He sent it back and pulled out a ski he had in his garage since Carter was President and on the first attempt getting up popped his bicep. Next a nice fat speeding ticket pulling his boat to the regionals. A couple of weeks later he brought his boat to the lake to pull me since mine was sold and on the first pass put it in reverse at the end of the lake pulling something of the bottom and destroying the prop...he looks at me said....glad your prop was on my boat, then I dropped his keyway and nut in the lake pulling it off. Then to top it off he went deer hunting in his Porshe taking out the driver's side......did I miss anything Firkin??????
