      Right on, dude. I heard a story of a guy that went to work for a local 
cable TV company. On his first trip up a pole on his first day he swung his 
positioning lanyard around the pole and heard the reassuring "click" when it 
hooked up. He leaned back and peeled off. Unfortunately he had clicked into a 
screwdriver on his belt. Fortunately he was okay. That was his first and last 
day on the job.
