Lynn,
What size shirt? Send me the clothing, and I will send you back a "cutting"!

I made sure that I wore a shirt that I was willing to sacrifice, but no
mention was made of the shirttail cutting. I later spoke of that
practice with a friend, and he said that they don't do that much around
here. I had seen shirttails hanging in other training areas, but not
around here. In fact, when I got dressed for the day, I put on a
Kitfox shirt....willing to have it cut if it meant soloing. Does it
still count if I cut it myself? Sounds a little
self-congratulatory...almost like soloing sex, eh?
