    This I did while in a partly crushed car.
    There was a tear in the metal roof & as I lay on the front seats to get under the dash, I pulled my arm up towards my head & I heard cloth ripping...

    Hmm, I wonder if that was cloth ripping.... See's blood drip off arm...
    No.
    I could see into my arm, the yellow tendons & reddish bits, it didn't look as healthy as I feel.
    I tied it up with a rag so I could walk the 20mins home, noticed it stopped bleeding..
    Well theres money to be made...
    So I scrapped the rest of what I was doing, packed the gear up & walked home, cleaned it, taped it up & didn't bump it at all for 1 week.

    I then cleaned it again, taped it up again, didn't bump it, same again.

    Then I cleaned it up, long thin scab, grabbed it & slowly ripped it off, it was like tearing a tear tab off a envelope, scarey, but erotic in a weird way.
    Theres hardly a mark now.



    This is what happens when you try & push a shotgun shell primer out with a tiny screwdriver while holding it in your left hand & tapping the screwdriver with a pair of pliers....





    This is where it came out.
