I can relate. A few years ago, I tried to get that ring off a juice bottle’s neck with a kitchen knife and I got myself between the index finger and thumb. Had to call a neighbor for first aid.
Even worse, pluggers used to brag about how strong they were when young, but now brag about how weak they are. When I first started deer hunting my father and his friends were all in their 40’s and were always saying how tough they were. Now they’re all in their late 60’s and are each saying they’re sicker than each other.
Also talk about war wounds and if you have a real neat job like coroner you can talk about cases with the cop and firefighters your family or friends at meal time.
I don’t get along well with sharp objects. Not once but twice I “spiked” myself when long or triple jumping in track and field and my spiked shoe landed on my outstretched hand. Once in art class while attempting to make a linoleum block print, my carving blade slipped and cut the side of my palm. And once while using a kitchen cutting knife to try to remove a plastic stopper ring from a bottle, the knife slipped and impaled my hand. After nearly passing out I did manage to drive myself to the hospital.
Doing a job one day, I hammered my forefinger. Drove to the pharmacy before it hit me what I’d done. While asking the lady for a finger splint I almost passed out and needed first aid. Don’t drive after stuff like that. Dumb.
yah see this scar???? well it happened this way …………..ha! you call that a scar? well let me pull my pant leg up and show you a real scar ……………..that ain’t nothing! i was playing mumblety peg when i slipped and ……….hmmmm worse scar i ever did see was when i took my jackknife and tried to kill a bee. the bee zoomed in and then zoomed out and when the knife followed, it cut me from rear end to snout!

And always, these guys are telling their “war stories” at a table next to mine at Denny’s! Ack!
