well my story is no accident.i worked in my friends body shop,which was in a finshed pole barn.he had a bb gun out there for killing the birds that got in through the roof vent.

well he was welding the inner fenders of this old coupe.i walked by the bb gun and a light went off in my head.oh yeah,open arse neck shot.it was a sinlge pump gun so it was not too powerful.i drew aim about 30 feet away and pulled the trigger.

the funniest part was when it hit him,he jumped up which caused him to hit his head on the fender well.funniest thing i had seen for awhile!!!!!

he said at first he thought it was sparks from the welder,then he saw me laughin.from then on i had to watch out cause it was a WAR!!!!1


one time,at band camp,lol.when i was in school we were working on a snowmobile.the clutch was messed up and we were tryin to get it to run.i sat down on it to keep er goin,and it fell off the jack stand.across the shop we went.of course it wouldn't stop cuase the clutch was screwed up.the teacher thought that was funny chit.

this is the same school that honda donated 6 250r,and 6 350x motors to the program i was in.complete motors,from carb to ignition.we tried to buy them but the school will not even admit to having them.i know they are there,i've seen,and taking a few apart.anyone got a couple grand to offer the school as a donation.my uncle owns a scrap yard we can use to cover up.write the school a reciept sayin we scraped em,make a small donation,and have 12 brand new motors!!!!!!!!!!! yeah right,let me pinch myself.i'm sure the school won't come off them.i'm gonna check the dumpsters every week till i die,hopin they throw em out some day!!!!!

For being a youngster i have had my fair mishaps...and 1/2 are from others stupidity:
-was welding and a chunk of metal flew, burned through my skin and got stuck in my bone
-a grinder wheel shatterd on me...i lost a finger nail
-a friend spilled water on me while welding...you know the rest, but hey, im still alive (and proble wont ever be able to have kids LOL)
-the most SCARY!!!!!: was working in front of a tractor and my buddy accidently hit the bucket control lever and pushed it into float. it fell and the bucket land square on my RedWings..thank god they were steel toed!!!

Just the other week I shot Brakleen in my eye while cleaning the bolt carrier on my SKS. It burned like hell...I ran to the bathroom and splashed water into my eye and that took care of it. I figured it would take a few hours or days for the sting to go away...but it didnt.

I cant count how many busted knuckles I've had, or burns on my arms from reaching around headers and whatnot.

Also, at school I slice my fingers wide open every couple of days. Some of them dang computer parts are paper-thin aluminum or sheet-metal which goes through skin like a hot knife through butter

I hear ya, in tech class bending sheet metal, terrible slices through your hand.

Worst in my shop at the farm was sludge fell and hit my toes, from not that far up but still hurt like a son of a...

When I was younger, we went riding with the family and my brother rolled the 70 he was riding. He was about 10 or so and was shaken up from falling off but the trike was still upside down with a full talk of fuel pouring out of it. I yelled at him to turn it up the right way and without thinking and in a bit of a panic grabbed the exhaust pipe with his hand to turn it up the right way. He ended up with a pretty bad burn on his hand and didnt do much more riding that day.

I got N interesting one. one day I decided to try and make the thumb throttle on my 83 big red a little loser and easyer to push becuase my finger was getting sore all the time and I was sick of it.... sounds easy right? well to start off it was a really windy day and when u spray lubercant out of an arosal can its not a good mix. for sum reason I was bent over looking up twards the thumb throttle from under the handle bars and started sparying away. you can guess what happend next.. yup all up in the eyes and mouth nose ect. I ran to the bath room and flushed my face for a while and got really dizzy and everything looked like a huge heat wave. so I figuerd id go out and pick up my tools and go lay down for a bit. as I made my way out to the bike on the side of my hose I started to hear a buzzing noise and combined with the heat wave symptoms in my eyes and my imagination I started to see things that I new werent there and hear things that I knew werent there but it was a ....differenet experence to say the least.. I mean its one thing to know trailprotrailpro gunna get high.. but its quite another to have it hit you out of now where.

I was reefin on a bolt that had two heads taking a brake pedal off. I had my face right under the steering wheel while prying on the wrench. The bolt head torqued right off like it was made of cheap chinese plastic and I ended up with a little more iron in my diet than is recommended by the FDA. I thought I had pounded my nose in.

Yaahhh, Gas in the EYE = HURT for sure. Try get'n an Ear Full too!?!?! Talk aobut a delay'd reaction. You know the drill, chang'n a fuel filter... pull off the filter... gas pours into my face (eyes)... turn head, get an ear full too. Get up with the major burning eyes & flush out. Few minuits later the burning eyes are subsiding but my balance is starting to fail & the internal head burn is starting. It gets so bad I'm yell'n and stoopering around the house wondering how to get myself to the hospital. Just about to dial 911 when I notice its subsiding too. Wheew! Guess good ol 91 octaine aint too bad for the body afterall. Cleans ear wax out like nothing else!

[bigredhead]

i guess that would make you " Hot headed " and then some ! LOL..

You wanna really clean out the ear wax, toss a match in there! LOL
