[LM_NET] STUMPER: story about one-armed welder

[Sara Kelley-Mudie <librarian.skm@GMAIL.COM>]

One of my administrators came to me today looking for help finding the
source of the following story/quote:

A water tower is about to fall over, destroying the town.  A one-armed
welder climbs to the top of the tower and, miraculously, fixes the tower and
saves the town.  Once he is back on the ground he is asked how, if he only
had one arm, was able to fix the tower.  He responds, "When it's time to cut
steel, you don't drop the torch."

He believes the story is part of a book.  I've searched in as many ways in
as many places as I can think of, and I haven't come up with anything.  Does
this sound familiar to anyone?  Any and all leads greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
