Now does that also work for non-dairy creamer? I'm lactose intolerant.....
Two example come to mind:
When my great uncle was in WW 2, he and another soldier were in a jeep driving back to base... the jeep tipped over and his friend was pinned under it... he was able to lift the jeep long enough for the other soldier to wiggle out...
Same story - different people: a young boy in our neighborhood was outside playing in the front lawn. His toy went in the street so he ran to retrieve it. The boy was hit by a car, the mother was walked outside as the boy was being hit by the car and had the strength to lift the car with one arm and pull her child out with the other... Normally she didn't have that kind of strength....
