    This reminded me of something when i was a kid. A ball or something went into a very muddy field in a place where the cattle would be fed. Some of it was liquid and was only a few inches deep. This was fine. I was wearing rubber boots. It was the bits on the edged that were frozen that were dangerous. They were a lot deeper. I didnt realize and thought they were solid. The ice cracked and my boot went in. I wasnt worried, so i shouted to my sister to get my dad to come and help pull me out. Before he had a chance to come, I saw a cow heading for me. I wasnt able to move my boots, which were stuck in the mud, and scared of being trampled, I pulled my feet out of my boots and ran. I was just reminded of this charming little incident from all those years ago, because even after a change of clothes and a long hot shower, i still stank. Obviously this is nothing compared to Omid's ordeal. If my "stuck in shit experience" was bronze, his was definitely platinum.
