When using 2 x 4's as fence posts.. and an 8 pound sledge hammer to pound them into the ground with....... be sure that you are holding the 'post' below the surface you intend to strike.. with the 8 pound sledge hammer - especially your thumb. Because if you allow your thumb to get between the surface you intend to strike.. with the 8 pound sledge hammer.. it may end up looking like this:
OOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I'm surprized y'all didn't hear me... it happened last Thursday and looks better [ swollen, etc. ] than it feels this morning. Try tying your shoes without a left thumb. It's amazing how many times you even "bump" your thumb on anything in the course of a day.
O.K. let's hear all of the "sympathy".. "your experiences".. and "laughter"!!!
