[Woodcarver] Any Stupid Antics?

[Patti Landmann]

Hi Lori,
 
I'm nothing but honest and certainly stupid.  My story starts on a beautiful day sitting on the deck in the sunshine carving on a Santa carved from a basswood egg.  I was enjoying the birds and the flowers and carving one of my favorite low stress figures.
 
I suddenly realized that a small SPIDER was crawling across the back of my holding hand....in a heartbeat...the blink of an eye...I hit him real hard..with the hand that was holding the knife.  Spider?....who knows where he went...but the knife was standing straight up in the back of my hand kind of vibrating from the impact.  Duh!   Little spider...Big Knife.  Can I get on the stupid train?
 
Fortunately little blood and no real damage.  Just missed some important looking vessels in there...Unfortunately..husband was home.  He just shook his head in a kind of sad way and helped me recover.

OK, I know I'm not the only one who can turn the simple into monumentally stupid. How 'bout sharing your stories about "Your Ride on the Stupid-Train"? I'll start off...this happened last night...

Let this be a lesson, kiddies...
You know those long flex-tips that you put on the end of your super glue bottle so you can get into tight places? Mine had a blockage, so I figured that rather than replace the tip (they come in packages of 25, and I had...oh, say..24 left), I figured I could just blow out the blockage. Tip removed (there's still time to toss it and put on a new one, but...not me), I put it up to my mouth (what...you thought I'd do something reasonable, like use compressed air, or something!?), remembering ONLY at the moment it touches my lips that moisture ACCELERATES the setting of super glue. So, there I am...tongue glued to the inside of my lips, lips glued together where they weren't glued to the flex tip, and the flex-tip dangling off my lip like some kinda octopus arm, hoping like H*** that I can sneak past my husband to the bathroom. No such luck...

Second in stupidity only to attaching my legs together above the knee (DON'T hold a clogged tube upside-down a give it a good squeeze while wearing shorts).
