    It’s hard for a mission to be foolproof when it’s being carried out by fools.

    Definitely not foolproof with that fool/dolt.

    Foolproof, maybe … but not Zipper-proof!

    I wonder if that splash of orange/red left of center in panel 3 is Red Rascal? If so, his helmet/turban has come off and his hair is flying free!

    And I was naive enough to believe that rescue helicopters included the requisite hoist. Others seem to believe you need to bring your own.

    What made me think the hoist was built-in with those choppers?

    “A battle plan is only as good as the warriors you send in to do battle…”

    In other words…If you want your plan to be foolproof… DON’T USE FOOLS!!!

    IN RE the hoist: The chopper may be equipped with one. It is just that Zipper is not real sure what one looks like!

    He should use his I-phone 4 to search for a PDF of the chopper manual!

    If Duke wants to hear something soon, it’ll no doubt be on Al Jazeera.

    Most fatal climbing accidents occur on rappel, just like “fast roping” that gets a tad TOO fast. The bungee was just a typical “Darwin Award” move.

    And now for a flashback moment, in memory of Owsley Stanley and the long strange trip.
