I had a ratchet slip and pop in the mouth.

Did that when working on Bonnie, dang did that hurt!! Thought I'd cracked a tooth!!

I helped my Dad take our old boiler to the dump. We lifted it onto the edge of a regular dumpster. Just as we shoved it, an edge grabbed my coat. Needless to say I flew through the air, and landed with much force. God had it planned out. The dumpster was full of bags of shredded paper, so I was fine, but my Dad was laughing almost too hard to help me out. Was quite startling. I was expecting to have a 700+/- pound boiler land on me.

Just switched over to a newer truck for work (Dodge Ram instead of the Chevy S-10)...

Two times now...

Get the new 2"-receiver put on the previously un-2"-receivered vehicle.

Insert NEW 2" hitch with ball of various size...

Forget, for a few micro-seconds, about the fresh install...

Walk FULL-FORCE into the immobile object (complete with UNCONTOURED, POWDER-COATED, UNBELIEVABLY SHARP EDGES) THAT'S LOCATED APPROXIMATELY AT THE MOST SENSITIVE PART OF THE SHIN...JUST BELOW THE KNEE-CAP...and as you're reacting to the sudden rush of pain heading past your groin and screaming for your ear-lobes and skull...you go crashing down into the gravel with the feeling of fresh, streaming blood gushing only where gravity pulls it...

Yep...both times...and it don't heal any faster as you get older...
