Another example. A jr high teacher of mine slipped off his roof & caught his ring on the rain gutter on the way down. He had surgery on it & it was wrapped up for months.
So I learned today that the Air Force hates wedding rings. ;-)
My uncle, who was an elevator inspector for N.C told
me about riding on the top of an elevator with some
maintainence guys and as they were descending one of
them was letting his hand slide against the wall.
Well, there was a nail sticking out that caught his
wedding ring and left him hanging from his finger,
they stopped went back up and go him, had to cut the
ring off as his finger had swollen to twice the size.
A lesson for every one.
My uncle was missing a leg, as one day he was working
in an escalator with the floor plates off and it started
up. Yep, learned the no jewelry thing as a welder.

Haha... took a little convincing of the wife at the time.
On my first day, an older mechanic told me to tell her right away, so the first time I forgot to put it back on, she wouldn’t be beating me with the rolling pin.
“Our sheriff’s department seemed to get a kick out of running over his. He’d take it off and lay it on the ground to use as a timer while working on someone and after they were stabilized and being loaded in the ambulance whichever deputy saw his watch there would make a point of running over it.”
Not enemy. He worked with them all the time. They were all buddies. Most of the ones that worked with him came to his retirement party. Cops and firefighters have a strange sense of humor.
I walked into the station one day and headed for the coffee pot. No clean cups so I grabbed one and took it to the sink to wash. Just as I turned on the water and it sprayed me straight in the face Hubby’s firefighter came running through the door screaming....DON’T TURN ON THE WATER! Then you should have seen his face because he had sprayed the Captain’s wife straight in the face. Lol. Of course I laughed. He had set it up for the engineer. They had a running gotcha going.
It was kind of the same with the deputies they worked with.
