1. Back when I worked search and rescue
...a bunch of us went up to get a guy who wasn't hit, but was darned close. Of course another lightning strike happened while we were carting him off the mountain... seven of us were pretty surprised when we came to.

Of course, I haven't suffered any long-term effects. It does remind me of a story, though. Back when I worked search and rescue, a bunch of us went up to get a guy... :D

9. I didn't say the incident was funny.
I was just laughing at my own dumb joke about setting a club record.

Where's Darwin when you need him?
Playing golf on top of a bluff during a thunderstorm? Isn't hauling ass down the road the first thing you do and stay down there the logical thing to do?

Sheesh.
