Needed to move an air conditioner - the big bastiges. Had no help. Wife said "don't be a zalupa" (Russian for head of male appendage), bear hugged it,moved it 50 meters. Meanwhile, of course I dislocated myleft shoulder, which 5 years later still give me the irrits (VERY sore lately,thanks to redislocating it after moving house,including,you guessed it,moving a fridge upstairs solo and other furniture). I will have surgery on it one day - meanwhile, I just pop it back in Mel Gibson style.
Ah not bad but, that's nuthin, when I was a young man I moved, two sheep, a bull, two horses and an elephant!

Ah sigh.."and you try and tell the young people of today that and they won't believe ya!"
