Macho men like to perform feats of strength so they can show off how manly they are, and they constantly feel the need to prove their physical prowess is over 9000 so they don't drop a rank in their bro pack.
But losing face in front of your macho friends is preferable to losing a hand while trying to do something stupid like punching a bear trap, a lesson which ol' Dieter here learned the hard way.
He bearly missed it, and now his arm looks a bit grizzly...meanwhile Uncle Punchy pulled the trick off without a hitch!
