the most serious screw up i did was when I was laying some wood flooring down at my rental house. I had to use a grinder to cut away at the frame of the door. Well, I only used one hand on the grinder and it snagged and jumped out and sliced my left index finger to the bone and it was spilling blood everywhere on my nice floor. I quickly told my employees to clean up the blood and went and got myself some rum. I cleaned it out with rum and then drank the bottle dry. No doctors where open and I am cheap so instead of going to ER I just bought a thing of Super Glue, pushed the flesh back together and glued it back into place. Then I had someone drive me home (stopped by and got some more rum) then drank the pain away again. It took it about 6 weeks to heal. Some Christmas present huh?
