[simpits-tech] Today's second lesson ...

[Ben Jones]

Toughen up princess, it only hurts till the pain goes away,  ;-)

Been there and done that, its funny how the brain can realise that it has 
happened so fast but does not have the speed to stop the other hand in full 
flight.

I had an apprentice that fell over onto a bolt and punctured his leg just 
below the groin, the only thing I could find was a.......whell tampon at 
short notice from one of the office workers, gave it to him and said this 
might help, at this point I did not look, just piled him into the Ute ( 
Pickup truck) and drove him to hospital, it was so funny in the emergency 
dept, he obviously had a visible blood loss problem, the very attractive 
nurse  cut his pants open and noticed him holding this thing, she looked at 
me and smile with a witty remark, anything that heavy needs a maxi pad.

At that point I blushed and wet myself laughing and went back to work.

regards

Ben
