**Public Service Announcement**

If you have a spring loaded air rifle (aka bb gun) and you know it's malfunctioning - don't try to be the big man and force it to do what it isn't wanting to do - because you will NOT win. you WILL slice your thumb open, scrape up and bruise your elbow, bleed all over your wife's kitchen and make her follow you with a bottle of bleach cleaner, ruin one good towel trying to stop that blood, freak out your kids, spend an evening in the ER getting a tetanus shot and some dermabond. then you will be unable to use that thumb because it's hurts worse than when you knocked 2 teeth out with a wrench. you WILL also get a 10 day supply of antibiotics and some fun pain pills :)

okay - if you don't like looking at open wounds stop here! LOL









(this photo was taken this morning, 16 hours after it happened...still sort of "sticky" and possibly not quite glued well enough......and I did not take a picture of the other side)

OUCH! I hope Darren's thumb heals quickly. That must have hurt and what a mess it created.

Hes a man...a typical man. Tries to take matters in his own hands. Behind every good man is a better woman...lol

Oh dear! Quick recovery...I've been the one to make the 'bloody' mess, and been the one to clean it up at other times. Both suck!
