You might have just won the thread. Maybe even the internet.

Knowing how to use a comma is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack, off a horse, and something completely different.

/yes I give a fark about Oxford commas.

ohhhhhh, i see what the op meant. He saw a guy bleed, while out on the shooting range. Hey op, if you were in my field with me while i was removing fencing, you would have seen me bleed about 8 times today. 2 or 3 from ripping out barbed wire, once while putting in new fencing, and 5 frickin hawthorn trees got me. I got even though - i ran them over with the tractor. But then the big one got even for all her little baby trees - she broke the latch on the bucket on my tractor - sheared 4 bolts right off. However, i chose not to make a thread about my bleeding - this simple post was more than sufficient.


Edit: Fuck! I just ran my fingers through my hydraulic fluid coated hair (an oops occurred today), and had one of those big long thorns in my hair... It got me again.

reveennngggee!!!

Oh, I'm laughing good now, thank you for the birthday gift.


But FYI, He was bleeding profusely from his hand and we had no clue until we saw him dash out w/ a paper target clenched in his hand w/ blood everywhere and then we looked at the ground and there were droplets all over the place.

I couldn't figure out what it was, I told the range boss "slide bite" and he finally came and bleached it/mopped it up.

Slide bite sucks, I'd say most noobs get it.

I've experienced it once, and just resulted in a small blister, first time I loaded an M203.

Sorry for the lack of Comma

But this is strangely reminiscent of an old post I had giving the Darwin Award to someone who did not die

You can get a darwin award for permanently disabling your reproductive system, before you have reproduced. You don't have to die, but your lineage does.

They don't hand out Darwin Awards to people who die in a stupid way but have already had kids... do they? Because that would be upsetting since the concept is nullified due to offspring.

But his death prevented him from producing further offspring

I'm not sure what he could have done to hurt himself that bad without even firing. Maybe he was trying to adjust something with a knife and it slipped?

When my wife was teaching me how to shoot her glock 40 (she packs heat to work every day), the slide cut the hell out of my hand on the third or fourth shot. BAsically it pinched the skin between my thumb and index finger and ripped it open as the slide moved backwards.

Obviously I lived through the the ordeal, but I bled profusely for about 20 minutes before I could get it all under control. HUrt like a sonunvabitch. Not to worry, I have since learned not to hold the grip of a handgun that high. Though I am still a horrible shot.

And since this injury involved guns, the fact that I was learning from my wife does not warrant turning in one of my man cards.

No one escapes PICS? though.

I once accidentally a thread and got electrocuted in the process. Which is wierd because now I can post from beyond the grave. Yeah I'm spooky like that. I've also found it not a good idea to say hi to anyone by the name of Jack in airports or planes, you know before my untimely electrocution and all.

You died? sorry if you did. Did anybody get AIDS from it?
