On the news this morning:
A construction worker with a nail gun in his hand stumbled on the job and hit his mouth with the nail gun.
He thought he just had a fat lip, not realizing that he'd accidently fired the nail gun.
3 days later, he thought he had a toothache, and was persuaded by his wife to see the dentist.
When his dentist x-rayed the guys teeth, they were surprised to find a 3" nail that had entered the inside of the guys upper lip and stopped with the point just within his brain, and narrowly missing his eyeball on the way.
After a lengthy surgery to remove the nail, the guy is no smarter now than he was before.

He'd be up for a Darwin award if he killed himself, but I think he definately deserves an honarary mention!

You could ask a typical opposition party leader, they don't seem to know when they have knives stuck in their back!

I saw this on the morning news. Sad part is that he did not have insurance to cover it so when he found out it was in there he did not want to have the op to get it removed since he could not pay for it.

ahh yes, you americans have a great medical system.... soory mate, you need an op, but first the $$$

Well unlike AU we dont have socialized medicine. It has it advantages and disadvantages. In the case of this idiot it would have been considered an on the job injury and technically the employer would have to pay for it. BUT if he is his own boss then he screwed himself.

And sorry to burst that bubble that we have to pay first. It is far from that.
