WHEN HE WAS IN HIS TEEN YEARS, I DONT KNOW WHEN EXACTLY, HE AND PAUL WENT HITCH HIKING DOWN TO EXMOUTH.  GOING NORTH THROUGH WALES THEY GOT A RIDE ON A TRUCK.  THE TRUCK DIDN'T HAVE PASSENGER SEATS, SO THEY SAT ON THE ENGINE COVER.  PAUL WAS SITTING OVER THE BATTERY.  SUDDENLY HE JUMPED UP SCREAMING BECAUSE THE ZIPPER ON HIS BACK POCKET CONNECTED THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE OF THE BATTERY, GOT RED HOT,  AND BURNT A ZIPPER MARK ACROSS HIS BUM.
