Oh dear, that is scary. Note to self, lay off the shortbread.
Being claustrophobic has its advantages - I never woulda gone down that cave in the first place!
Shame no picture!
after my failed attempt at a nice late afternoon job i guess this will now motivate me so i'm not to blame for a similar incident!
I guess she had a big ole' butt...
here's a link to the story that actually works.
Since the woman insisted she was not too big to go into the cave, I'd guess she never heard the story about how Winnie-the-Pooh got stuck in Rabbit's door!
AH. That would explain why doorways appear to be wider than the norm in the US...
Wider doorways also happen to be handy for wheelchair users, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence!
