Why, it’s the little cuts that keep day to day life interesting!
I was working on an 1100, pretty much thought I had the disconnector winding up trapped between the backside of the interceptor latch and receiver wall figured out, test fired it and #%+@#!!! it did it AGAIN. So, I’m working on getting the locked up action apart and thought to myself, “I should have something holding the bolt back cuz when this lets loose .. WHAM! The guns owner was beside me and swears he heard it when I pulled the extractor literally out from stabbed deep inside my finger ...
Right about the time ^that^ fvck up was healing I’m using a box cuter with a new blade in it like a short sword to slice up some cardboard for getting firebox tinder started and sliced right through not just the end of my thumb (and you cannot see it in the photo) but cut my thumbnail practically clean in half. Gets better. I get that bleeding stopped and then go back to the floor Jack I was putting new seals in and, without thinking stick the fresh cut right into hydraulic fluid. Fvcking OWWWWWWWEEEEEEE! Better than an espresso for waking you up, I’m tellin ya!
Since then I’ve stupidly or absent-mindedly stuck that cut into gasoline, denatured alcohol, Ed’s Red, and a steel bristle on a wire brush that was in the back of a dark too chest drawer I was digging through (hell, the cut’s still fresh, every time it starts to heal I stick it in something else caustic)!
At least once a month either I say to myself or else someone else comments, “No shit, there was really a time they gave you fvcking real boolits?!”
I could go on for hours ....
Not related to the thread but while looking at your photo I noticed how clear your fingerprints were in the photo. A thought occurred to me and I wondered if criminals have ever tried to replicate someone’s finger print from a photo? A quick google search turned up some real experiments where photos of finger prints were successfully used to defeat fingerprint security systems.

Nice Boo Boo BTW. Those little zingers at tips the fingers are annoyingly painful sometimes.
