Knot you!

I think if I tried some of these things without pictures, I'd end up in a

Last year, I watched Warren whip through some knots using his forceps.
Very quick. Does anyone out there know of a webpage that shows this?

I agree with Frank, but Warren's not actually tying knots with his
hemostats. He just wads it up in a huge tangle, pulls it tight, and trims
the tag! Seems to work. (g)

That should read:

hemostats. He just wads it up in a huge tangle, *spits on it*, pulls it tight, and trims

Of course you know, Herr Miller, that if both the first and second flies
are olives, what you have is a doppeldropperdangler.
