Today I get to go to work with this. Hilarity may ensue, given that I work in an office building / cube farm.

Wasn't a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick since your head is still attached to your body. 😛

Clearly I would not be posting had I been in a fight with Chuck Norris.
 
Once about twenty years ago I was trying to get a 10000 lb. upper die down onto a lower die, but the guide pins and wear plates were too tight. I put some slack in the chains and was using 80 lb. pry bar (to shock the low side up) and get the thing down. Well, I put too much slack in the chain and the thing dropped like 1 1/2" which made the pry bar come up like 4 feet. Hit me in the cheek at like 90 mph and knocked back onto my back and out cold. I woke up like 2 seconds later and jumped up and looked at the pry bar it was still stuck in between the dies so it didn't make a noise and I looked around and nobody had noticed.

HAHA, I figured I got away from receiving all the humiliation of doing something so stupid. When I came in the next day looking like I was in a car accident the jig was up.

Not yet, but what's a better story than having been roundhouse kicked to the face, anyway?

Actually yeah, especially when my hair was longer. Only problem is my facial hair is too thin to grow it out like him, or I would.

Must have been a glancing blow. Can't say I remember much other than standing up and feeling like the skin on my cheek was really pulled tight. The reason no one noticed is that it was like 1 minute to the end of the shift and by the time I walked out of there everyone had their backs turned to the time clock. Kinda kept that half of my face turned away from everybody too. Later on when I got home the thing looked like I was hiding a golf ball under my skin and was just about every color of the rainbow.
