I almost just killed myself

I walked up behind my wife while she was chopping onions, and when I said hello, she turned around an imbedded the first half inch of the blade into my chest just below the sternum. About two months later, I had just finished opening a box with my Howling Rat and was putting it back into the sheath when she called me and I turned to her and cut my thumb down to the bone with the Rat. My wife is a dangerous person lol.

Funny you should say that, I was carrying it down to the basement because I had just got a 19" flat panel monitor to replace it. Much smaller and easier to move around. Probably wouldn't have survived the fall down the stairs though.
 
Not trying to do the "one up thing" but this was too strange not to share. About 2 weeks ago I hit a paring knife with a spatula while it was sitting in the "utensil cup" of the drying rack next to the kitchen sink. It flipped spinning up in the air about 2 feet and came straight down into my bare, left foot. I'm guessing it went in about 3/4" and man, it hurt like heck. I thought it was just going to land on the counter so I didn't watch it. Bad idea. I could have moved my foot.

I'm sure I couldn't have done it on purpose if I'd had all day to try. Glade it wasn't one of my heavy folders. It would have "nailed" my foot to the floor.

Regards
 
It is funny to hear about all the weird little happenings....at least funny as long as everyone is okay.

I hate crutches on stairs. I used to set the crutches aside, and slide up or downstairs sitting on the steps.

I had a method of handing a friend my crutches, and pulling myself up/down with my arms using the handrail while hopping with my good leg. Of course Murphy's law had to step in and show me a faster way down:D


At least nobody in here ended up like this poor lady here who was minding her own business when scissors fell on her from above. Freak accidents even happen to those who aren't a little clumsy.

It sure would. Can you imagine the person who was using those scissors? It's going to be a long time before they finish the job they were using them on.

Someone was probably running with them. My mother warned me about such things.
 
Yowie!! At least you are still here to tell the tale!! Did I mention YIKES?!
 
Luckily I've never had a bad cut with a knife, just one smallish one (almost take out the tip of my index finger) when I was a little kid. I do cut myself with anything else, though.

I've got a big scar on my right thigh: fell out off bed while taking a nap, on top of a freaking glass! Two months of rehab.

I've got a nasty scar along the top of my right thumb: tuna can. That one bled like crazy.

And the list goes on and on...

So I'm not worried about knives, everyday items are more likely to hurt me, apparently.
 
Wasn't there a movie about this kind of near miss?..... 'Final Destination'?
Since it seems like that was your 'miss', will me your knives now.
 
I dropped a knife on my foot once and severed an artery. It took me about 15 minutes to get the blood to stop fountaining out of my foot, then I had to clean up all the blood that I spilled all over the bathroom floor/bathroom wall/bedroom floor.

I felt a little lightheaded afterwards, so I took a nap. :p
