actually cutting a piece of your body off :(

i sliced about a 1/4" piece off of my thumb today, while regrinding a becker brute. the knife was clamped to the table and i was using a lansky guide/hones and my g/f yelled at me for so,ething and it momentarily diverted my attention and i slipped, dragged it all along the edge as i was honing it. at this point the edge was 20 degrees and just forming a burr, so it was sharp as hell, i felt the cut but just assumed i had sliced it to the bone. when i squeezed off the bloodflow and dumped some peroxide on it i saw a chunk of my thumb was missing - it even sliced a piece of the thumbnail off clean.
i still finished the edge though, albeit using my left hand :)

anyways, be careful folks :D
 
At least you did it with a sharp knife. :) My mother chopped a 1/4 inch off of her middle finger with a press brake machine (used in parts manufacturing). now the tip sort of looks like ET's glowing finger (it doesn't glow though. :( )
 
I've done that before. But as long as the missing piece isn't too vital I think losing your knife is worse.
 
Cutting your penis off. That's worst. Hmm come to think of it:

Only thing worst than that is cutting your balls off. Then you can't even artificially have children. And you'll be effimininate.

Guess the worst thing is cutting both your penis and balls.
 
"what's worse than cutting yourself?"


I think accidentally cutting someone else might be worse than cutting yourself. I watched a friend help another friend hold some type of plastic container while the other one tried to cut it open and instead made a nice 3 inch slice across the other's hand when it slipped. Nothing serious, just a few stiches, but I think the friend doing the cutting felt worse about it than the one that got cut.

That'd be the worst in my book. It's hard enough to justify carrying a "weapon" to some sheeple, but how the heck are you going to pass off accidentally cutting somebody else?
 
putting both of your hands around your own throat and strangling yourself,
while looking in the mirror to see your own expression of fear, just before falling on the fabric shears that you have in place if your first attempt fails. :eek:
 
I don't think you can strangle yourself to death. You'll pass out before then. Unless you crush your own windpipe or something.
 
i generally dont cut near other people's appendages (or genitals, lol), but yeah i see how that could be worse. although if i accidentally cut someone in a rescue situation theyd better not sue me :)

ive cut myself dozens of times, my whole body is a network of stitches from stupid childhood accidents to stupid adult accidents. to give you an idea *how* stupid, i have a 2" gash on my chin under the corner of my mouth from a square foot linoluem floor tile. we were throwing them around when i was about 12, and one of my friend's throws boomeranged back and hit me. could have been worse, an inch lower and it would have been my jugular. i keep sutures in the medicine cabinet because sometimes its less hassle to just sew myself up than spend 5 hours waiting at the emergency ward.
but this is the first time ive cut a piece OFF though, and let me tell you it hurts a hundred times worse. just making it stop bleeding was a nightmare, i should have just cauterized the damned thing. be careful folks, a cut is one thing but now that ive done this i can see just how easy it is to do AGAIN if the person is not careful - especially when the knife gets to the sharper stages.

btw if youre wondering why there are so many spaces its because im learning how to hit space with my left thumb.

My daughter in law cut herself so many times cooking, the last one permanently mutating her thumbnail, that my wife and I bought her quality kitchen shears and told her that's all she could ever use to prepare food again...

its worked so far...

Ouch. At least she's trying. :D
 
I think we missed the real problem here.
THE DAMN GIRLFRIEND SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO DISTRACT A MAN WITH A SHARP BLADE!
:thumbdn: :D

You're right, you can't. You could, theoretically, strangle yourself into unconsciousness, but it's like holding your breath until you pass out (Which some of us probably threatened to do as small children.). You can't, once you pass out, your body automatically starts breathing again.

I think the worse thing you could do would be to use a custom Sebbie to chop at volcanic glass with BF members around. Or something to that effect.
 
Hi Blackhearted-

Was your girlfriend yelling at you because your wife was on the telephone again? ;)

lol,no.
she mumbled something from across the room, and i didnt answer, so she yelled at me because i 'never pay attention to her'. there was something in there about loving knives more than her but at this point i was already running to thhe bathroom for some gauze :(

cheers,
