Topic: I can't give anyone the finger for a while. Hell I even had trouble typing this.

[Pugnate]

My monitor had a fault so I was taking it back to exchange it. When I was picking up the box I didn't notice a staple sticking out. I also didn't notice the staple end going into the tiny gap between my index finger nail and the flesh beneath. As I lifted the box I suddenly felt the full weight of the monitor as it transferred to the staple gorging painfully.

And it weally weaaly hurts. 

I am only thankful that I cut my nails yesterday so by the time I need to do so again this should be less painful.

Ow!  Sorry to hear that.  I'm still recovering from an elbow injury, and I can really sympathize.  We take our simple manual abilities for granted, don't we?

I am considering chopping my finger off to ease the pain. Maybe if I bite it off I will make the following list:

A list of real men.

But we do take things for granted. I wonder what will go first when I hit 130.

I actually have a bit of a phobia about staples. Back in 1985, during the superbowl when the Bear won, I was crawling under the coffee table and caught my foot on a staple. Ripped my foot open and I had to get stitches, which is the only time I've ever had stitches. Hurt like hell, so now whenever I see an open staple just sitting somewhere (esp on the floor) it creeps me out.

Ouch.

Dude, there was a superbowl with a bear in it?  How did I miss that?

And on topic - ow, pug.  =T  I've had similar things happen... horribly painful.  Sounds like yours was much worse than anything I've experienced.

hey don't worry, I'm still recovering from thumb surgery and the doctor's said that it won't be fully healed until sometime this summer. So I feel your pain.

Two words:  pussy.

Yes I realize that's one word.

I am pretty OK now, but the nail is kinda purple at the end.

The poor finger looks odd and stands out. I think the only solution is to hurt the rest of my fingers.

or be all emo and paint your nails black.
