Well, it's midnight and you're on a long straight stretch of road and the guy in the passenger seat says, " How fast can this baby go?" you have a blowout somewhere around 100mph, the car spins around and smacks into a telephone pole.

It is a true story.

...with a margin of error +/- 80MPH...

found a picture of my little accident a few years ago where I fell on a mirror and while dropping to my knees, a large piece of glass somehow landed on my calf. sliced a large slab of meat off and severed my nerves. couldn't feel anything from the knee down.. of course as drunk as I was, I just wrapped it with toilet paper and passed out again. went to the hospital a few hours later. pretty huh? sure wish someone would have taken pictures when the lawnmower just about removed my leg and arm when I was a kid. now that was kind of disgusting looking.. imagine 5 years old and seeing the bones in your leg. holding your arm so it wouldn't fall off

You're that dude from the old "stupid mistakes with power tools" thread, aren't you, the one giving Calamity Jane a run for her money.

Don't make someone break out the boney finger picks again.

yes I get cut, burnt, gouged, etc.. but I'm out there doing things most of you guys will never do. don't wear the silly little gloves so my hands don't get dirty. don't always follow safety rules. take chances most people never take. I get things done even when I'm bleeding. good thing I heal fast. running out of places for new scars though

Poor taste?

It must be a photoshop, look at the kids shoes.

If it's a real photo the objects could be hundreds of feet apart. With the right camera work I could be holding the moon or leaning on a 300 foot water tower.

My 13 year-old niece is mentally retarded.
That's what we call it.
That's what the doctors call it.
We don't dance around the issue and try to pretend that nothing is 'different' about her. We don't look the other way and pretend everything is puppy dogs and butterflies.

Your world may be different.

Probably the same one you must have also been hiding behind.
