accidently shot myself

Sorry to come give a bit of sympathy late, I just rarely look at this section. Glad you weren't hurt worse.

But who REALLY needs their pinky anyways?..... :lol: :wink:

But the pinky is essential to your sword grip. How's he going to hold a katana properly now?

Good luck with the recovery. I knew a guy who had a finger amputated. He kept a bunch of venomous snakes (granted this is a guy who was known around the state for being extremely knowledgeable about such creatures. He had a buddy who headed a reptile house at the Paris zoo that would ring him if they got a snake in he didn't know enough about) in his house, and one of them bit him one day. Nurse at the hospital gave him a drug specifically labelled "Not for animal bites of any kind." Wound up losing his ring finger, and last time I saw him, it was still bothering him with phantom pain. That was years after the fact.

YOUCH!!!
Time to share my own story of a near miss...
In JROTC to raise some cash we helped out a horde of rednecks train their bird dogs. It was fun, we got to dick around in the boonies and usually got in some airsoft/paintball firefights to pass the time.
This has nothing to do with those things...
I was in a blind with a couple rednecks who were dipping like fiends. I was sitting in between them, in the sun. The guy on my right offered up his seat to me, so I could have some shade. Like the hard motherf***er I am :wink: I told him sunburn was just fine for me. Well, a few minutes later he was dickin around with his semi-auto shotgun used for shooting the ducks out of the sky. He was holding it across his lap, butt on his left knee, barrel on his right. I wasn't payin much attention. I close my eyes for a minute then hear something like a cannon go off. First thing I do: grab both my knees. They were still there. Thank god. We get up and see a hole roughly the size of a half dollar in the blind to the guys right. Everything stopped for a minute as everyone made sure no one was hurt. Things got back underway, with this guy sitting way far away from me and the other guy. Turns out he teaches the hunter and firearm safety course at the park we were at...
If this was hard to follow, let me summarize: Had I switched seats with the guy, I would at best have a synthetic knee in my left leg, at worst no left leg from the thigh down.
I became known amongst those redneck bastards as the smartest/luckiest ROTC kid they'd ever come across.
Hope you keep your pinky
