Y'all ever hear your parents tell you "Not to put things in your mouth" because you might swallow it? Well,I ended up at *** Hospital's ER yesterday afternoon.
I started t hang some of Shari's pictures that are propped up beside walls. I had made my mark on where to place that first nail to hang picture number 1. Well, you guessed it. I had the nail and bracket in my mouth, and as soon as I tilted my head to look up, that 2" Brass nail slid out of the hanger, and right down my neck, good job Bob
The nail did end up making it all the way to my stomach, but after a few hours in the ER, and 2 additional rooms later, not counting X-Ray the Dr got it out without having to cut me open.
I feel fine, I even felt fine in the Hospital, with just a little dose of D*mbass.

Glad you are ok Bob. I had a similar episode once but, not as drastic. Was putting shingles on a roof in NY in Feb. Heated the nails over a kerosene burner, so they wouldn't split the shingles and also warm your finger when you took them out of the pouch. Yep, hot nails do burn your lips and tongue....

Glad to know I'm not the only one.
