I joke about that fact that I shouldn't be allowed to use power tools. I proved that fact Saturday morning. Apparently, if you hold a hedge trimmer in just the wrong place, then plug it in and accidentally press the little button, it rips some rather nasty holes in your fingers.

Now you know.

On a vaguely related note, did you know that duct tape makes a very servicable bandage?

Last year a friend of mine actually tried to stop a hedge trimmer blade with her bare hand. (Ever wonder why they put those outrageous warning labels? There really is a reason!) She's not a dim bulb, either-- she's in law school and everything. So at least you've got some good company.

...Hope you're not hurt as badly as she was though. Her hand's still not working right all these months later. At any rate, yay for duct tape!
