I cut the end of my right index finger off with a miter saw. It did NOT leave a clean cut.

We were only able to find a small piece of bone. The rest was chewed up.

I won't do that again. DUMB.

I wasn't gullible for long. It was a pretty tough bar.

Rugby players, fishermen and soldiers rubbing elbows is a testy situation.

On one site I was a laborer and the drywaller, who was 65 years old and spent his entire day on stilts mudding ceilings, asked for 18 cases of drywall mud.

Four hours later he asked for nine more.

I had a lot of respect for that man.

At an unnamed electrochemical plant in Niagara Falls a new employee at the laboratory was given a pail and told to return with it filled with chlorine. He went over to the production department with this request. The boss there asked: Is thats what they want? Being reassured he said well O. K., but hold the pail downwind of you so you don't breathe the vapor, and filled the pail with liquid chlorine. The newbie returned to the lab with the pail of boiling chlorine, the lab was instantly evacuated, and firm policies against initiation tricks were instituted. No fatalities!

26. Chain saw: A gasoline-powered device used for distributing oil and sawdust over one's clothing and hair, which also is useful for causing limbs and trees to fall in unpredictable directions, but always toward buildings and vehicles if they are present.

On farms crescent wrenchs are used as fertilizer, leave on back of tractor and plow it under.

I cut my index finger the same way.

While most people might own a "Skill Saw", Mrs. knewshound has used a Sharpie to re-name mine an "Un-Skill Saw.

That's just cold.

Cheers,

'2 cross boxes and 2 side boxes crammed full'

Make sure you keep an axe in the glovebox if you do business in the upper midwest to chop away the ice.

One time I was sent down to the supply store for some fasteners and to ask for "Will Call".
Went in and asked the counter guy, "Which one of you is Will?"
