[Haytrader]

Anybody care to guess what happened here?



I'll give ya'all a hint.
I nearly said DanG.

;D

[Paul_H]

Were ya sharpening drill bits? 

[DanG]

Typing accident? ??? :P

[Kirk_Allen]

Table saw injury while ripping a board?

[Furby]

Paper cut! ;)

[Haytrader]

You smart ashes.

;)

[tnlogger]

 piece came off the roller and gotcha  ??? ;D

[Paul_H]

Okay Haytrader, What happened to your finger?  ???

[tnlogger]

wal i went and blowed that pic up so i could see real good and it almost looks like ya shot yer self with a nailgun bu i just knowd it cant be that.  :D :D

[DanG]

You're screwed? ???

[Paul_H]

So you're saying Haytrader might have injured himself while doing his nails?

[Paul_H]

I went and brightened the pic too and there is a nail that is held in his right hand,but there is a bandaid there too(left hand) so I'm wondering if the nail is to hold the bandaid in place,or is he burning a wart with a hot nail?

[Haytrader]

Oh, I see we have a bunch of comedians here.

But, tnlogger get er right. I was building me an overhead storage for some lumber. I was holding a 2x6 to be nailed at a 90 to another one and when I pulled the trigger it shot twice.

It only went in a 1/2" and didn't get into the bone. I walked to the house so my wife could see (witness program... :D) and she bout fainted. It came out easy. She says I need a tetnus shot. I told her the nail was new.

:D

[Paul_H]

That nail looks like it was headed straight for the first knuckle.Amazing it didn't do serious damage.

[DanG]

Only went in a half inch? :  You need ta get a better nail gun!

I hope ya don't get the idea that we aren't too concerned.  Personally, I'm settin' here right beside myself.

[Haytrader]

DanG,

Yer up WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to late.
I got up for a couple tablets and am holding my left one higher than my heart.
:-\

[DanG]

Shucks, I ain't done eatin' supper yet!

[CHARLIE]

Haytrader, it coulda been worse!  You coulda nailed your hand to the 2" X 6" board and then couldn't get off the ladder.  So you woulda stood there hollering for your wife who couldn't hear you 'cause she was cooking a fantastic supper.  Then she coulda got mad when you didn't show up for supper and madder yet when it got late and was figuring you musta gone into town for a few cool ones.  Then with a hoarse voice, you resigned yourself to spend the night on the ladder with your hand nailed to the board.  Yep.....it coulda been worse.

[Haytrader]

Yer eatin way to late according to all the x perts...... ;)

Ladder?
I was on a plastic milk crate on the pile of lumber.

:D

And Charlie, the first alarm that would have gone off in her head wouda been............
"Wheres the cook?"

[CHARLIE]

 :D  Well, hopefully she woulda gone looking for da cook and not just fixed a peanut butter sammich.  That would be tough to sleep standing on a milk crate.  Next time use a ladder.  Then you could at least have something to lean against when you sleep. ;D

[Norm]

Geez Haytrader that looks sore. Between you and Jerry's fishhook story I'm just going to sit on the couch and watch TV for the weekend. No use taking any chances. ;D

[SwampDonkey]

Haytrader, ya shoulda knowed that you wouldn't get no sympathy from this bunch fer doing dumb stuff. ;D :D

[Rod]

I've nailed my hand to the board before. :D

Glad it were'nt worse.
Had a experienced kid come to work for me one time and had shot a 16d through his index finger by 8 am. :

Wanna hear a BIG nail story ta make ya feel better? Well, I'm gonna tell anyway.

Have a neighbor now close to eighty, tough old Quebecer him.
Usta do lots of hunting/trapping
One morning he jumped from a low plank bridge into a couple feet of water to set muskrat traps.
There had recently been some planks and scrubrails replaced  and some idiot dumped the ripoffs into the water- he jumped right onto a 10" cabin spike sticking straight up through a 2' scrap.
Yup, right through his foot just ahead of the ankle.
he had to step on the board with his other foot and pull his foot off the nail with both hands
I never look off the edge of a bridge or culvert without thinking of him

You are pretty lucky it was not worse (even though it still was bad), that kinda stuff can happen in an instant.
