You could put your eye out!

Well, I could have easily done that. When I was a young machinist apprentice in the 1980's, a coworker showed me a cool trick using a ball bearing and a air gun. He made a fist and put the bearing in the pocket
of his index finger. He then put the air gun in the bottom of his fist and slowly applied air to make the ball bearing float about 6 inches above his hand. Being a newby, I didn't have proper air gun discipline so when I tried it the ball bearing was too far down in my hand. I looked straight down at my hand as I applied a full blast of air and shot the ball bearing into my forehead. When I woke up on the floor, the damn guys were still laughing their asses off. I had a huge welt and earned the name "Cyclops". ThinkIng back now, it was pretty damn funny.
