Excavator tickles the tiger's tail!


I just had to put this in, because it is sooo neat! Imagine that this tiny little thing is going to start chewing away at the business-end of a giant ice jam that's flooding some town in BC. I visualize it as excavating the bottom of an avalanche zone, or cutting out the toe of a slope! At the same time, they are going to pour hot water at the top! But they have to construct a special pipeline, which seems a bit much. I shall follow this story with baited breath!

Is this at all related to;

"For God's Sake, don't cut out the toe of your slope!"

?

Yes! Don't pee into the wind.

Don't stand on the wrong side of the falling tree.

Don't piss on an electric fence.

All those things!
