# def skip_first(_skip_count = 1)
#   _iteration = 0
#   lambda do |x|
#     yield x if _iteration >= _skip_count
#     _iteration += 1
#   end
# end
# 
# # you can then pass the lambda returned by skip_first to any iterator,
# # using the & notation
# 
# 5.times &skip_first {|a| puts a}
# 1
# 2
# 3
# 4

now that is cool :)
