You know how on the directions for using a weed-eater, they say to wear boots and eye protection?
Well, while sun-glasses are a fine substitute for safety glasses, a pair of shorts and leather sandals are not good substitutes for a pair of jeans and boots. If you don't believe the directions, take my word for it.
I have to go change the band-aid now...

You could make up so many crazy stories for this one if you wanted! :-)

Posted by: Harvey at May 23, 2005 10:27 AMWhat happened... well, when I did the little tap-tap thing to get more trimmer wire, too much came out, and when it was cut off the chunk of plastic tried to imbedded itself in my ankle.
Barely drew blood, really. But still stings a little a day later.
