Damn hedge clippers

[nathanwhite]

So I was out trimming the hedges for my parents as a part of the new and updated conditions of my staying with them for free. I had just finished when I started looking at the blades of the trimmer....So shiny...I know I shouldn't...... can I just touch....THWACK!

Ow.

Come up to the deck, ask mum for a bandaid. She comes up, takes one look and runs off, returning a few minutes later with a pile of first aid kits. A lot of blood antiseptic cream and family members holding my arm to stop possible movement later, my right index finger is wrapped in enough bandages to make a mummy jealous and about as mobile as fat uncle fred.

First thing I think about?

"damn there goes half my braking fingers...."

However, my glove still fits over the bandages (just) and I'll be going out tomorrow regardless.:scooter:]

You fucken what?! That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Lol.

Are you mildly autistic?

I think I should be offended here...but I don't know..

[nothingflash]

Really? Damn the hedge clippers?

[nathanwhite]

Yes. They shouldn't be that sharp without a warning.

I think if i did something that dumb I wouldn't be posting it on here for the world to see, can't wait to see the helpful comments that will come :facepalm:

Well look on the bright side, at least you didn't stick your dick into it :blink:

I'm not sure what's more amazing - that you actually did it, or that you posted a thread admitting to it...:facepalm:

...this bloke , mildly like you , I reckon, is out with his Stihl 024 hedge trimmer bolted up to his saw...slaying the shrubs.... getting toward the end of a good day in the garden...thinking only of the cold beer in the fridge and maybe a bj later on, from his mrs, he sits the saw down and grabs a pile of twigs and off-cuts, gives them a heave, falls backwards onto the saw....its not really a well tuned 2t and its only running because he has the idle right up....its snipping away when he ends up on it and bang...in one horrible half second it whips through his 101's and takes his knob off...two thirds off his whole psyche are sitting in the palm of his hand...he puts his bloodied knob in his pocket and drives home to his place and confronts his wife with the dilemma...as all good wives are, she's onto it ....calls the A&E at the same time she's untying the apron, looking in the mirror and grabbing the car keys...she drives like that twat, Hamilton, through country miles and city shit and gets him to the surgeon in unbelievable time....the surgeon asks for the missing bit...he fucks around in his pocket, pulls it out and gives it to the surgeon...the surgeon looks at it and says, " no, no this is a raspberry jube".....my mate says , " ...no, I ate the jube on the way here...."

"Well i was riding along one day..and this car just looked soo shinnnyyyy!!!!...i know i shouldn't.....(THUMP) :bye:

...I had just finished when I started looking at the blades of the trimmer....So shiny...I know I shouldn't...... can I just touch....THWACK!

Ha! Been tempted.

Been trimming hedges the last few days with my trusty Stihl and...well, the reciprocating blades are sort of mesmerising. Don't know why...but there are moments when I want to touch them.

Happily I can vividly picture the bright red blood, the fierce stark pain, the utter foolishness of even trying. Thanks for doing it for me. :D

Guns.

Somebody give him a gun.

And a camera.

As long as it's not in gear and the rear wheel is off the ground I don't see a problem :innocent:

I'm betting that you were not wearing a flouro vest.

That would have saved you.

[vifferman]

I can't remember where I read it, but somewhere I read about this guy who'd just finished mowing his lawn, and noticed that the hedge needed trimming. He looked at the hedge, looked at the mower, then picked it up to mow the hedge. Took off both middle fingers of each hand. While he was in the A&E, someone else came in with exactly the same thing.
The nurses couldn't believe the coincidence and sked him how it happoened. He said, "I was driving home and saw this guy pick up his mower to trim his hedge. I thought, "Man - that's a great idea, and did the same thing when I got home..." :facepalm:

[Mom]

Doogal, you are a plonker :yes:

Ow.

Are you a fucking magpie?
