You might want to make sure you are pulling on the right ends with the tweezers, though.

Set the stage here. Saigon RVN, Red Cross Day Center not far from House 10 (the SOG Safe House). I'm down there headed out of country on a Stand-Down. We go in and I ask the Candy-Striper if she has a pair of "Nail-Clippers", she says yes, hands them to me and I clip the sutures on my hand and remove them. All is well untill she comes over to see what I am doing and she FAINTS !!! OUT COLD !!!

Talk about blowing one's cover !!! I di-di'd post haste and got clear of the area. !!! LOL
