heh, my wrestling coach would always show us these moves to use on people, and it always seemed that I was the demonstrator, becuase I was the only guy that was about my coaches height and weight. He would have me in all twisted up like a pretzel, and when he was done, I'd ask, "ok...how do I get out?" and he would say, "dont get in it...". reminds me of the replies here...
