When your first warning that something is going on is when everyone get conked on the head at about the same time there's really not much to do.<br /><br />In other words, don't start with the concept that everyone else is a congenital idiot without enough survival skills to cover their heads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890523669575867377.post-46209934066937401902013-05-28T19:00:22.386+05:302013-05-28T19:00:22.386+05:30Your cell stands corrected, but not incorrect.Your cell stands corrected, but not incorrect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890523669575867377.post-4509382265950615232013-04-03T23:13:08.759+05:302013-04-03T23:13:08.759+05:30"Hail" is the correct spelling :)"Hail" is the correct spelling :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890523669575867377.post-75379306477565626252013-02-25T14:35:50.464+05:302013-02-25T14:35:50.464+05:30I think I was "hale" corrected by my cel...I think I was "hale" corrected by my cell as "hail", as in hailing a cab, right after I pressed "publish". So, correcting my cell here... There. I got the last word in the spelling battle with my stupid smartphone!

And yelled for others around to do the same: put something hard over the head, even hands as they can heal, but boots/shoes/luggage/bags are better; lift up shirt/clothing top and hold over the head at a distance so as to at least slow down hail before it hits; hide head under another person's body once they're dead; hide head under a rock's jutting out parts; even let the hail fall on your back instead, or your meaty parts as the latter will recover from the bruises...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
