I really question my hazard awareness at times...
Just did some recycling, part of which is flattening cardboard - a particularly tough item which needed to be folded too made me do the following:
Fold item as far as it goes by hand
Place item across thighs to give some purchase
Punch item very, very hard to flatten
Fold over in agony as punch makes it all the way to a rather sensitive part (parts) of my anatomy.
Why I didn't just stand on it I don't know!
At least I can laugh at myself.
Well, metaphorically speaking, sometimes you have to take a shot in the balls to be sure you still have some. Self-inflicted or not, it's always a learning experience.
One time I had a dent on the top of my hood on my jeep ragtop.
I went to a local NAPA parts store and got what looked like a toilet plunger but with a grip where the handle should be connected.
So I spit all over this 4" suction cup and smashed it over the dent, and pulled. Nothing.
So I stood on the bumper and pulled again. Nothing. So I grabbed it with two hands and pulled as hard as I could. The dent stayed dented but the plunger let loose and I punched my self in the nose, in the process not only knocking myself square on my back, but doing so at an elevation of about 3 feet off the ground.
It was spectacular:)
I don't think ive ever been hit harder in my life. Nice to know the only mfer that ever knocked me on my a## was me:)
