@summerfield I suppose it could be an ouch in the wrong hands -- but I didn't grab a hold of it -- no risk of puncture wound for me. Just took its photo.
@mcsiegle - i know, i'm saying ouch from experience. as a little girl, i used to jump fences in the neighbourhood, and some fences are just the barbed wires. i'd jumped it and sometimes i got my legs or feet caught and it was ouch! :-)
@summerfield OK -- yeah -- that would be ouch all right. I've had my share of run-ins with barbed wire fences in my childhood too. I don't think I jumped them -- mostly went under or through, sometimes over.
