Potential Safety Topic- Environmental Hazard - Tight Squeeze

Yepper. There are just some colorful expressions or spells that are hard to beat. Like, for example, tight squeeze. Tight squeeze always references the narrow escape from, entrapment.

I was trapped. It was a tight squeeze, but I finally got loose.

One time a while back, all of us went off to Druid Synod. We left my bosom companion, Crumby, to guard the CB. At that time, Crumby was too fat on account of he had not yet completed his Druid training. As a result of being too fat, Crumby trapped himself in the sliding glass door. There he was when we got home, a pitiful spectacle, exhausted from hollering and struggling, trapped in the sliding glass door. It was a tight squeeze, but we finally got him loose.

Beware the tight squeeze. Don’t stick it in if you can’t get it out is generally good advice.

But one might ask, “Ray, how do I recognize a tight squeeze beforehand, so I may avoid the very situation that your bosom companion, Crumby, found himself in?”

Easy that, carry a measuring device, such as a yard stick with you at all times. Then, before you stick part of you or your whole self into something, do some measurements to see if you shall have sufficient room to get out, once you get in. Also, you should measure the different parts of yourself and have a general idea about the diameters of those parts. For example, your elbow; elbows are always getting into a tight squeeze! Measure those elbow diameters, both of them if you still have two, because they may be slightly different. Er. Besides the yard stick, a jar of heat-pruf plumber’s grease can come in handy.

So here’s a pictorial representation of the essential equipment you need for avoiding the Potential Safety Topic - Environmental Hazard - Tight Squeeze. I am fixing to go inside that fence I am propped up against. So I am well-equipped for a potential tight squeeze.
