Try seeing piano wire at a distance.

It was thoughtless of Sniffer as there are 90 options to watch.
Luckily video selection No.2 is the rope gag.

Hence my comment about piano wire ; some folks just give up so easy.

I wasn't being thoughtless, I didn't realize they had # tags. but what you did Piggy was rude

Uh, how so. I come from Australia and PC is not in our wordbank , humour is.

 

[sniffer]

calling anybody a derogatory name is rude

Thoughtless - inconsiderate, adj.
look it up in a dictionary

ever see military grade type "booby trap" trip wire or piano wire in action -- then you would understand --why folks are "careful"

 

[sniffer]

Ivan, I have and used it, I was special forces. could you imagine someone hanging onto a piece of it
and trying to stop a car ? it would take all of about 1 second and they would be missing all of their fingers

 

[ivan salis]

yes but if messing with cars -- hopefully most folks would be smart enought to use a chunk of broom handle to attach it to ( like a garrote) not hand held --someone riding a motorcycle at speed and with it being streched it across a road attached to 2 trees at head level -- ugly

now for just tripping up folks --no finger / hand chopping off issue -- its just some dumb as snot bored a hole kids pulling "mind pranks" -- note the invisible line "jumpers" thought

 

[sniffer]

when you look at the line jumpers, all you have to think is, maybe they need to get their eyes checked. LOL

==================================================================
Or at least two of those heavy duty circular key rings attached at either end.
Had some lessons at this myself. Either way, this wire shouldn't be played with.

I used it to remove an old windshield once. that stuff cuts right through that silicone sealer
