And anyone who really knows me, knows that for that very reason, I don't go anywhere without a couple if bandaids in my pocket.

[The Freightliner Guy 1,327]

Glad your ok again.

"When I come in from the shop with a bloody paper towel wrapped around a body part,

the question from the wife is: "Bandage or Car Keys?"

 

That one looks like a bandage job Kev.

That may have been me, if not I can certainly say that is the response I got from my little bride on many occasions! Hers was something like "do you need a band aid or go to the emergency room?"

You got your weekly tetanus booster right???

I think that could have come from any one of us.

Oh yeah, I’m sure there was some on there!  I prefer to rub it right into the wound, instead of through a needle

When I come in 

Mrs K  .DON'T SIT DOWN

Me     why?

Mrs K  YOU'RE DRIPPING BLOOD

Me    where?

 

     With paper thin 80 yo skin and blood thinners, any bump causes a leak.

Not sure Kev will make it to 80 he is already springing too many leaks and broken bones the list goes on.

Surprisingly, I have only broken my finger in wood shop, and my foot (4th metatarsal) in a die shop in my lifetime!

I should be able to save the finger 

 

My wife knows the tone of “hun!” to know whether to come with concern or not.  She learned that after about year .25!

Art Linkletter was a TV host of the programs "People are Funny" and "Kids are funny".

He once clarified the difference in parental reactions between the first and third child coming in with a bloody nose.

First child: "Get ice, get towels, get clean clothes, do we need a doctor?!"  

Third child: "Don't get blood on the carpet."

My fingernail has almost completely grown back.  It has be twenty weeks since i split it edge to edge with an impact driver removing screws.  I marked on the calendar to see how long it would take to fully heal.

Had a guy like you at work, one day an old coworker said you just need to put him in a jar when he gets to work. Also if your wife doesn't have at least a five hundred thousand policy on you somebody need to talk to her.

When I retired at 62 and lost my Company group insurance, I used COBRA for 18 months, then had to purchase private health insurance.

Mrs Ks policy ended 2 days before she was eligible for Medicare.

I asked my insurance agent if I could buy a 2 day policy.

His answer was,  No, just roll her up in bubble wrap for 2 days.

Yep, I’m worth much more dead than alive!  I think our policy covers me for 500k, maybe 1m.  Either way, she’ll be able to afford the excavator to dig a hole out back and toss me in it!  I tell her if I know when I’m gonna go, I’ll go dig the hole first 

[pacer 3,169]

Blood thinners and 83yr skin!!!!

So I was walking across to the shop and an acorn - yes, acorn and not a very big one either - hit the top of my hand, within 20-30mins looked like I'd been shot!

That falls into the category of "Profound Pro-Activity..."

 

P.S. - Last time I checked, like the country song line - "You never see a luggage rack on a Hearse"...
