As a freshman in high school during woodshop, I was busy cutting something out on the bandsaw (I forget what exactly) when the piece of wood bound up on the blade. My genius self decided more force was in order...sure enough the wood all of a sudden went forward rapidly along with my thumb. Blade went straight in the top of my thumb, splitting it in two nearly to the first joint. Nice. So I grab my thumb, turn off the saw and walk over to were the teacher was grading. I tried for about 2 minutes to get his attention, all the while bleeding profusely and getting faint. Finally, he turns around and in an annoyed tone, says "what?"
I pushed my thumb under his nose and he stood up very quickly...then fainted. Maybe it was the pain or shock, but I started laughing and couldn't stop for nearly 10 minutes. For the next four years, that teacher never could look me in the eye. It was great.
LOL thats rich!!!
When I was in HS shop the teacher was a gruff 60year old guy, a real hard a$$. He was giving a demo on safety and how if you have a little piece of wood your running through the table saw to use a stick to push it through to keep you hands away from it. As he is demonstrating this the little block turns sideways and kicks back out nailing the guy in the balls!! It was PDF!!
