I think this site should run the Darwin Awards for the useless guitar players or for that matter, musicians, who CUT THEIR BLOODY FINGERS!!!!!!!!
I'm sitting here today doing the right hand (all fingers) typing and left hand (one finger typing).
I had the pleasure of visiting a really nice English doctor today, who I reckon had a big night at the Commercial or Macquarie inn, so she could place 4 stitches in the knuckles of my index and middle fingers on my left hand.
Like Spoon said, be careful,
I had just rebuilt an Air Compressor, and I had fitted the fly wheel, I was checking the fitting and spun the wheel a couple of times to make sure the Pump was working and all was ok .
I decided to give it one more spin, and moved my hand to the outside of the wheel, spun it and carried my fingers across the base of the guard on a sharp edge.
DOH!!
not a big gap...and something had to give, flesh mainly....in fact after the mandatory ouch, I informed the boss, who enquired, what was the matter, that this one was going to need stitches and I had used up my band aide allowance...
good news is, it doesnt appear to be any tendon damage. And I should be right in a week....funny thing, this left hand of mine has had severe burns twice (once petrol, the other, gunpowder{dont ask}) been stitched up before.see previous post, Guido is Hurting, and still manages to function.
Bad news is......the Pretty Doctor left Town today and was going back to Sydney...damn....
Like I say....Darwin Awards......The Gene Pool will eventually get stronger.....

Hey Buck, Whack a pill bottle on yer index finger, and start teaching yerself slide guitar!!!!!! Fortune favours the brave, and you would be turning adversity into advantage.............just a thought.

That doesn't require a Darwin Award, Buck. I mean, it isn't like you tried to light your BBQ with LIQUID OXYGEN! like some smart arse decided he'd try, and almost blew hisself up.......

Um..... Does shooting oneself through the palm of your hand with a three inch framing gun count as stooooopidity? I'm thinkin' it would be right up there somehow....or how about aligning a sheet of corro up to fit a channel on the end and then urging your work mate to "shove the f-------ing thing" whilst your hand is still in the channel. I know where the other half of my thumb is, and it aint on my hand...........some people brag about scars, I'd be happy to find some unmarked skin. At least both my knackers are still in place, but I gotta go to work tomorrow, yet..........

You aren't the guy who shot himself through the hand with the nail gun, and then because the pain was so intense, tried to kill himself by shooting himself in the head........ten times, and survived are you walshy?
