What was your hand doing there to be smashed?

I’v never had anything smashed, and I’m sure that I’ve been around as many tokers as you, considering that I live in the SF Bay Area.

Summer job. I was working at a truss factory. We pre-fabbed roof and floor trusses. We would place the wood into the frame we wanted, placed a metal mesh between the boards to hold them in place. We would hit that mesh with a hammer to hold it in place before it went through the roller.

Stoner was on my team. We used to go very fast because the team that produced the most during the week got to work double time on Saturday. Incentive for big money. One of the issues the plant had was people used to do meth in the morning to go fast and during afternoon break they would smoke to wind down.

Late one afternoon as I was placing a mesh down and as I got ready to hit it in place, the team member took a swing and caught me flush on the bone where my hand and third finger comes together. Think that is the capitate. He lost track of what he was responsible for.

This law is going to cause a train wreck.
