Once when pushing a squeeze in a new cave I got stuck and had to wait for 2 and a half hours while my compadres found enuf rope and someone small enuf to reach me...

Unfortunately the only one they could find was my 14 yr old son and he's never let me forget it!!!
If fate doesn't make you laugh, then you just don't get the joke.
