Bill D 2,246 #7 Posted July 9 I had a neighbor that used to push mow his lawn, on a hill, in flip flops. He got away with it. I always wear boots when working with power equipment. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 14,552 #8 Posted July 9 Kevin, I want to joke like everyone else but I can't. Not today anyway... I hit my middle finger this morning with a hammer. A BFH and against the anvil side of my vice. For some reason, this only happens to me when I get frustrated enough to draw back and really give a good wallop. Said a few choice words, quite loudly. Performed my own version of a sobriety test, probably faster than the official version. Needless to say, today's tinkering is at an end. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had it been any further back, I'd already have been on the chair of shame at the ER. All I got was fingernail and the end of the finger. ...and one ruined pair of shorts! 14 minutes ago, Pullstart said: Many a time, I’ve had to tell myself out loud to walk it off.

It happened about 10 minutes before I saw your toe! Needless to say, my mind had not returned to it's normal speed limit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mangled a finger behind the nail and it took months for that deformed misshaped nail to grow out. And it refused to stop aching. The day I finally trimmed the last of it off was a good one. FWIW, DMSO might help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I don't know how many times I have used that diploma on here and you are the first one to notice the typo. I have fixed it! Any day now @Pullstart will have accumulated sufficient credits to earn his "Doctorate of Disaster" so he can publish his "Thesis of Tragedy". 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, so I thought the “typo” was deliberate and part of the humor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
