hehe.... ouch! :sad:

I grabbed an electric fence once. We were at my aunt and uncle's old place, which was just outside of Seward, NE right near a big corn field and cow pasture area. Had just snowed and we were going to go for a walk through the (empty during winter) pasture. I kinda fell while we were climbing through the fence, and I reached up to the one that had these weird yellow plastic things on it... Thankfully, I was wearing pretty thick gloves, which I think deadened the shock a bit... but OW! :sad:

I also once tried to cut a sandwich with the flat end of a knife once, while pressing my fingers down on the sharp end. Thank god it was too dull for me to recognize the difference! heh

Yeah I've done something similar to that, KungFuSquirrel... :leper:

I was mowing the lawn once and I pulled on the supply cable too hard, and the top of the 2-way adaptor popped off. Going over to fix it (without bothering to turn off the mains first :confused: ) I pressed the reset button - giving myself a shock off the mains in the process :dead: . All i can really remember was feeling like all my knuckles had cracked at that moment...

I did something like korn... I had a prozen english muffin that I wanted to microwave, so I found a huge steak-knife and started to try and cut it apart. Eventually the knife went straight through the bread and into my hand... I've got a nice 1.5 cm scar from it...

Well, recently, I wanted to make some microwave Popcorn. The bag says 5 minutes, so OK. When I come back after five minutes, the microwave window is looking abnormally black and I didn't hear anything "poppin" anymore.So I open the microwave, and really, the burned pieces of corn just bursted thru. I got most of them right in my face, and that was hot, so I ran to the bathroom, spreading pieces all over the place, and washed my head under the shower. I had to clean up the kitchen after that, too, and get rid of the awful smell.

The point is, I held the package upside down, so I read a "5". f**king "modern" font.

:biggrin:

I once led my best friend and my brother on a little adventure along a cliff face. no injuries resulted, but I nearly killed us all with my terrible leadership and poor judgement. it's somthing I'm very ashamed of.

I fell of a cliff once. It was only 6 feet, but it was damned stupid at the time. I was doing a Manwell-from-Fawlty-Towers impersonation at the time (don't ask). My brother would have you believe I walked off.

I also picked up one of those grids used over bunsen burners just after using the bunsen. Huge brown grid mark on my hand for a month :lol:

Oh, that reminds me. One time me and a friend were messing around with some 9 volt batteries (the small, square-ish ones) and put them into some huge array (as in:

-+-+-+-+-+
+-+-+-+-+-

etc.)

. I think that we had about 15 or so strung together. Anyways, at some point, I guess I accidently touched the ends or something, because I was literally thrown back from it for a second or two. I was twitching at the time, and my friend just looked over at me ans said "what the hell, man." I physically couldn't respond for at least 2 seconds. Twas funny, looking back on it.

Well I was about 7 I guess and I walked up to the fire place, I had one back where I lived, and I just put my hand on it, no reason I just did, The sensation was wierd though, no heat(at first) just extreme vibrating, then the burn took its effect, whats the lowest type of burn, 1st degree? cause thats what I got, adn to this day I dont remember the pain very well.

Ohh and when I was 16, I was swinging from a vine in my back yard, I thought how cool it might be to let go and do a flip in air and land in the water below, well I think I did a flip, right before my head hit the rock under water and knocked me out.

Just a few...

Put a 9v battery on my tongue...couldn't taste anything for the rest of the day!

Made a 'rope' swing out of something that looked like rope, but sure as hell wasn't as strong as rope. I swung, the 'rope' broke and I landed flat on my back. I swear I couldn't breathe for a few minutes and I though I was going to die.

Bought Daikatana

Snorted salt...it comes a bit keen...don't do it :wink:

Invented my own c**ktail. Me and some mates went out to the pub and decided to invent a different drink each round. My turn came and I ordered a c**ktail of a double Jack Daniels, double Vodka, double Red Aftershock, and about ten drops of Tabasco Sauce to add a bit of spice...I managed to keep it down for about 5 minutes before I erupted. The most impressive thing was that the sick was bright pink to begin with, but turned black like tar towards the end of the night. Needless to say, I (and all the others) never made it into work the next day, and i've never drunk anything other that lager since then (and never more than 3 pints a night). That drink really hurt!

I thought I'd be cool and slide down a tree trunk, however a nail was protruding from it and took a 2x2 inch chunk of skin from just below my knee. it was in front of about 30 other kids(They weren't watching as such, but I kinda felt like i had scratched myself, but when I pulled up my trouser leg, i screamd and limped(Very quickly I might add) home! everyone thought i had landed on a stingy nettle and thought I was a wimp till they saw the gash when my mum took me to hospital, after which I am told, they started a search and rescue for my piece of skin. They never found it. The legend of the Skin lives on.

Oh, before that, when I was about 7, I was around my friends house(Tom Norman) and it was the day before my holiday, me and Tom climbed the log pile he had and walked along one that was sticking out in much the same way as a plank on a pirate ship. When I walked out onto it, the pile collapsed and I broke my elbow, and was in hospital for a week in traction, while in traction I fell out of the bed. Which would be pretty embarassing if it were the first time I'd fallen out of a hospital bed, but I'm afraid not that was the second. All good fun!

well, lets see.....there have been so many.... :lol:

i used to frame houses and lite commercial buildings when i first got out of the service, going to college at night,jan 1985, i was working on a commercial framing crew, building a 24 units apartment complex....three stories high, about 40 feet off the ground.....when you build wall sections, you build them laying on the ground, and then stand them up, and in order to nail the studs in place, yer kinda nailing from a sideways angle....well, im jammin' along popping these studs in place, i overstretched a bit, pop, shot a nail, and the recoil got away from me....it bounced back onto the top of my hand, and a quick rapid fire of three 16 penny nails went right thru the top of my hand, and pinned me to the board (im simplifying this, it was not that easy to explain)...i didnt let out a peep (framers are tough guys, dont wanna be a pussy) i calmly took out my wire dykes, clipped the heads off these three nails, and slid my hand off the bodies of the nails...needless to say, it hurt like a SOB...and swelled instantly to about twice the size it was supposed to be.....but thats not the dumb part, as s**t happens like that all the time....

im on the third floor mind you, and as i lifted my hand off the nails, i stepped backwards about two steps, and walked backwards right off the f**kin side of the building....i had half a chance to try and catch myself, and as im grabbing at the deck i was just on, the damn siding pulled right off in my hands, opened up the wall like a candy box, and down i went....hit the frozen ground like a ton of bricks, the damn siding smacked me in the chest, and i layed there flopping and twitching like a fish. f**ked me up pretty good....broke two vertebrae in my low back, broke my left wrist, which i had just shot with the nail gun, my right knee, my left ankle, and a mild concussion....three surgeries on my back, two on my left wrist, one on my knee, one on my ankle....spent 6 weeks in the hospital, and a year of physical therapy so i could walk right again.....

and remember kids, safety first... :heee:

now dont you guys feel good about knives and electricity?... :rofl:

excuse me if i sound like ageisms again, but why do kids ask these questions?

my son asks me to recite all my stupidity as a youth too, i am hounded incessantly till i relent, and in minutes have him rolling in the floor with laughter..

i concede ..heres one,

when i was about 12 or so, we were raising a bull calf, this calf was about 400 lbs. for fun we would hold onto its tail and slap it on the ass to make it run, to see how long we could hold on.. well you see, this calf had tail hair about a foot long, they got wrapped around my hand, and i couldn't turn loose.. i ran for hours it seemed.. funny now, but scary as hell then...

I think, Orph, the reason why is that possibly they're curious (as in asking your peers), but when asking someone older, in a sense, sometimes you could be measuring yourself up against that persons unmentionably moronic deeds and seeing what you've done . . . I don't ask individuals older then me (or my peers) about something they've done, unless they have a physical injury and I'm concerned. But, I've noticed that older individuals tend to tell me none the less, it's as if they're already assuming I want to know . . . shrugs I don't know otherwise.

P.S. I appologize if that post makes no sense.
