Two men were climbing a particulary difficult mountain when one of them suddenly fell down a crevasse 500 feet deep.
"Are you alright Bert?" called the man at the top of the crevasse.
"I'm still alive,thank goodness,Fred,"came the reply.
"Here,grab this rope,"said Fred,throwing a rope down to Bert.
"I can't grab it" shouted Bert,"My arms are broken."
"Well,fit it round your legs."
"I'm afraid I can't do that either,"apologized Bert."My legs are broken."
"Put the rope in your mouth,"shouted Fred.
So Bert put the rope in his mouth and Fred began to haul him to safety.
490feet...400feet...300feet...200feet...100feet... 50feet...and then Fred called:"Are you alright Bert?"
"Yea-h-h...h...h...."
