There's an old rule of thumb: If you can fit your head through, then you oughta be able to get through completely (if your butt ain't too grand).

I think that rule starts when we're born, and only gets threatened by a love of cheesecake!!

Both rules are absolutely correct! As it happens, though, there's a good chance I still could be guided by the 'head size rule', however, I'd definitely have to have sufficient motivation to make the attempt! You know, like a nice slice of cheesecake on the other side.

All levity aside, though, i do appreciate the training and dedication firefighters demonstrate. A close family friend and Texas Forester finally lost his battle last year after having suffered through a double lung transplant following injuries he sustained in the massive 2011 Waller-Montgomery County wildfire, here, in Texas.
