Who knew avocados were so dangerous?

On Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” co-host Joy Behar revealed she had to miss work Monday because she’d sliced open her hand cutting an avocado.

“Saturday night, on my way to the event at the retreat, I stabbed myself in the hand with a knife,” she explained. “I was trying to desperately eat something, so I was trying to open an avocado. So I stuck the knife into the pit to get it out … and I stabbed myself!”

At the hospital, where the 75-year-old stayed overnight and was administered an antibacterial drip to ward off infection, Behar was told that this sort of accident happens all the time.

Ironic since she’s shaped like an avocado....

[Beagle8U]

I expected it to say she swallowed a avocado, whole.

Did she have it in her mouth when it happened? Darn!

OK who else was rooting for the avocado?

Only a lib could wrestle with an avocado... and lose.

"...and was administered an antibacterial drip to ward off infection."

A drip for a drip.

Bingo or cut it into 1/4’s and the pit literally falls out of the last 1/4...

“So I stuck the knife into the pit to get it out … and I stabbed myself!”

Yeah, I don’t think that you actually stabbed the pit. Idiot - she can’t even accurately describe what happened, yet she’s looked upon as some kind of a brilliant political commentator by about 1/2 of the populace...all members of the Dunning-Kruger club, just like her.

Too bad she diddn’t Slit her own throat.

[a fool in paradise]

Needs knife control

[rolling_stone]

I dunno. Avocados are always very good to—and for—me!!!!

Who stays overnight for a drip & a cut? Suspicious.

It’s been a few years since a buddy of mine was attacked by a malicious bagel. While getting stiches they told him that bagels were the number one cause of accidents in the home.

"Behar was told that this sort of accident happens all the time."
