April Fools??

Just in case you thought my life was nothing more than runny noses and coughs
the guy in the picture came in last week, held up his hand,
and with a big grin,asked me if I could pull this out for him.
Seems he was trying a new size nail in his nail gun and well.............

Kind of makes your toes curl up huh?
Especially when he described he and his boss trying to yank it out with

you guessed it Vise Grips!!!
(yet another use I hadn't thought about)

I showed this shot to people on April 1st and they called April Fools
It wasnt

By the way, I declined,sent him to er and he is doing well.
Hard to tell from the picture but it went through the knuckle joint, or I might have tried


other sizes: small medium original auto

When you are in the safety arena - this is a great picture to use at work along with carrying the message to practice safety at home.

Ouch!!!!!!! Looks like he may need some major medical insurance which I'm selling now.

Ouch! Had a friend do something similar, not pretty! Thanks for the reminder to use caution!

I sure wish I hadn't just eaten when I saw this (of course, why I clicked on the thumbnail is beyond me). Nice photojournalist work.
