Sam also has a right arm that is permanently fixed at 90 degrees after he pushed it through the windscreen of a passing car and broke the ball off the end of the humerus, ask him some time he'll show the scar.

But as you so correctly point out that will be my last marshaling task.

I've heard that Sam's working on a completely
new marshalling system which uses only the
Eyebrows!

I like to do my planning retroactively!
