Hammered a Lot Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Honestly, if this was due to a nail gun backfiring, I think he has grounds for a lawsuit that would at least pay his medical bills, plaus loss of income and some pain and suffering besides. I have used nail guns for over 20 years and have never had a nail gun backfire. Lawsuit???? Maybe for operater error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjeff215 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 But for six *days*? CW 208911[/snapback] Point...... So: He fired the gun to close to his head like a moron, probably all sideways... puts a nail into his face. He doesn't realize the extent of the damage, he thinks he just screwed up and whacked himself in the face with it. It hurts like a B word at first and his mouth bleeds... figures he just screwed his tooth all up. Doesn't realize that the weird feeling in the roof of his mouth is a nail and not a broken tooth (did he break a tooth?). Since he has no health insurance, he tries to get the pain to go away by itself for the next week... it doesn't - only gets worse - so he goes to the dentist out-of-pocket to get the accident taken care of. "You sir, have a nail in your face. You sir, are a moron." -Jeff (I don't get it either... just having some morbid fun with it I guess) Edit... then again, that X-ray doesn't look like he screwed any teeth up. He's a certified moron.

And it doens't look like it went in his face sideways, the xray looks like it went through the roof of his mouth. So he was holding the nailgun IN his mouth? I don't know, but you're right about one thing -- he's a certified moron. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
