The Electric Examiner Bondage Files
It's not what you think. The Bondage Files are merely an archive of articles that
never made it into the San Francisco Examiner, because the hard-nosed editors thought they
were too bizarre. One of these true stories is about two brothers killed fighting over directions,
and another is about a man who got his hand ripped off in a tug-of-war game. If you really like reading
these stories, consider writing the editor and ask for stories like these to be covered in the
newspaper more often.
