Yammer Dan Posted May 9, 2013 #1 Posted May 9, 2013 Had a little project in the garage this morning. Sounding bad already?? Had some packages to open so I just snatched up one of the Warden's kitchen knives on my way out. Sounding bad now?? Stood one of the packages on its end and it had the fiber straps holding it shut. Now?? Hooked the knife around it and gave a good healthy pull. Warden must have sharpened those knives!! Strap gave up easily and knife stopped when it was lodged in the bone about two inches above my knee. A little blood, some new words invented, and a good tug got it out. A little bandage and I'm going back to the garage!! Good thing I didn't take the butcher knife.
Snaggletooth Posted May 9, 2013 #2 Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) DAN!! Are we going to have to limit you to plastic silverware? Missed that part in Boy Scouts on knife safety did ya? At least you missed the important stuff, well other than the bone. And no using the staple gun to close it up. Let the warden get her sewing kit. Edited May 9, 2013 by Snaggletooth
Eck Posted May 9, 2013 #3 Posted May 9, 2013 Put a piece of that fiber tape on it and you will be fine... I would at minimum dab some antibiotic cream on it though... Super glue works well too..
SilvrT Posted May 9, 2013 #4 Posted May 9, 2013 yup... we "guys" do do some dumb things, don't we? Years ago I was doing a bit of body work on an old truck. Patching a rusted out hole. I had the bondo and I had one of those rubber sanding blocks, the kind you hook the sandpaper into each end... but I didn't have a bondo spreader so ... I decided to cut the rubber lip off the sanding block... with a utility knife! I'm sure you can figure what happened next ..... yup, the knife slipped and went full blade deep into the side of my leg. Yup, like a real dummy ... I was holding the rubber block against my leg and cutting TOWARDS myself! :doh: (now you know why it says "not your average dummy" below ) Hope you're gonna be ok and don't get an infuction ...
Sylvester Posted May 9, 2013 #5 Posted May 9, 2013 Hell, I nearly cut my left thumb off with a utility knife. Getting old and stupid is all part of life.
deepforkriver Posted May 9, 2013 #6 Posted May 9, 2013 Is there a place on the forum for donations in this case? If so, i need to donate and Don could probably retire.
bongobobny Posted May 9, 2013 #7 Posted May 9, 2013 OK Dan, you are officially banned from sharp objects now...
Yammer Dan Posted May 9, 2013 Author #8 Posted May 9, 2013 Is there a place on the forum for donations in this case? If so, i need to donate and Don could probably retire. Donate every time I hurt my right leg??? HEY I Got to Eat!!!
mini-muffin Posted May 9, 2013 #10 Posted May 9, 2013 Spork still has some points on it. Dan we're gonna wrap you up in bubble wrap and maybe some air bags for when you work on the garage. Guess some sort of armor to keep you from lodging sharp implements into your body. Wardens gonna lock you up somewhere Dan. Margaret
Marcarl Posted May 10, 2013 #13 Posted May 10, 2013 Ever hear of side cutters,,, oh wait, they is sharp too,,,,,, best ask the neighbours to come over to help.
AKRefugee Posted May 10, 2013 #14 Posted May 10, 2013 Douse it Seafoam and tape it shut with duct tape. That should fix it just fine. Ride Happy, Ride Safe
k9cottage Posted May 10, 2013 #15 Posted May 10, 2013 always thought there was a reason for bones ,they are there to make sure the sharp things don't come out the other side
KIC Posted May 10, 2013 #17 Posted May 10, 2013 Douse it Seafoam and tape it shut with duct tape. That should fix it just fine.
Flyinfool Posted May 10, 2013 #19 Posted May 10, 2013 I think Dan needs one of those old suits of armor like the knights used to wear......
