Guest tv tanned Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Doctors at the hospital said it was the second time a patient had failed to notice a nailgun had fired a nail into their heads.I find the above quote the most disturbing part of the article.Good to see people doing their bit to dispel the myth of the stupid American...

MattJimF Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Love how at the end they say it's the second time someone's shot a nail into their head without noticing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeC Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 A couple of points to ponder...Nailguns cant "backfire"Nailguns cant fire two nails at once.Even if they could backfire, how the fuck could a nail fire into the roof of you're mouth? and without you noticing...!!Sounds fishy to me.

(Do nailguns fire hard enough to ricochet?)He'd probably open his mouth to say something along the lines of "Oh, fiddlesticks!" and duck (maybe backwards?) if the nail entered his open mouth, and hit the roof, there's not an awful lot of nervous tissue there - a thin layer of epithelium over what's basically just bone and cartilage all the way to the brain. It's not exactly a flesh wound... If he didn't find where the nail had gone, and didn't feel it stuck in his head, then he might not have noticed it.That's speculation running wild, but that's how I see it happening...

PrincessHolly Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 I like your theory Paul but it's more likely he said "oh fuck" because it makes your mouth open whereas "oh fiddlesticks" is saidly mainly through teeth.
