Dang!

People around me turned white when I pulled a staple out of the palm of my hand. I was helping a friend hang some insulation, set the "easy shot" staple gun down to adjust it, picked the gun up, braced it with my palm, and "blam!"

Only problem was, there was no staple in the insulation. Pried the staple out with a screwdriver, slapped some peroxide and a bandaid on my palm, and went back to work. Meanwhile, folks were turning pale around me and couldn't watch.

I can only imagine what the response would have been if something this dramatic had happened!

How long ago did this happen? Your jaw feeling a little tight or did you get a tetanus shot!

As long as you got a tetanus shot, I would have gone back to work too.
