Hurt, part 2...

It is a true sign of getting old when body parts (or parts of body parts) break for no good reason. I noticed this a few years back.

On Friday, I mentioned that I hurt my finger. It’s a funny story, really…

I was standing on an office chair to plug a cable into some video equipment. I shouldn’t have been standing on the chair. At some point, it swiveled, I lost my balance and fell… It wasn’t even a bad fall. I landed on my feet and everything. When I looked down at my right hand — which I knew I hit against the wall (but, not very hard, mind you) — blood was dripping off one of my fingernails.

*Caution:* If you click the forthcoming link, it’s not very pretty — and you have been warned.

So, a href=‘http://sense-datum.org/tim/images/img_1735_sm.jpg’ class=“thickbox” title=“My poor finger” rel=“entry-865” >this is what happened.

If you can’t tell, that’s my fingernail, split horizontally, right across the top… Seriously. I barely hit my hand against the wall when I fell.

Ugh.

Gawd, that is one butt- ugly fingernail, dude. Go put a Band-Aid on that or something before you go showing it again. Why didn’t you warn us that it would be so gross? Seriously, dude. I’m trying to eat breakfast here!

Ummm… Did you not read the “Caution: If you click the forthcoming link, it’s not very pretty” part? :-p

There’s a difference between “not very pretty” and “butt ugly,” Tim. :)

Ha ha ha! Point taken. ;-)
