Nor did I intend to belittle.  My apologies.  Most of the real bonehead
moments I've had involved something that was plugged in like the time I
watched myself slide the tip of my thumb across a spinning saw blade
mounted in a big steel table.  Then to add to the stupid, I had heard of
using super glue to seal a wound.  Note to all - read up on the correct way
to do this.  The idea is not to just apply the glue to the open wound in
order to try to seal the open wound.  I now this know from experience.
That hurt much worse than the actual wound and it still was hurting hours
afterward.  And I'm not talking about a small dull ache.  I mean, it hurt.

Btw.  The correct way to do this is to hold/squeeze the wound closed, then
apply a sparing amount of the glue at the edges to hold it closed.  I just
poured it on the wound.  It did seal it and it did stop the bleeding, but
d@m... that hurt.

I also was not kidding when I often look down and see myself bleeding, but
have no idea exactly how or when I injured myself.  In one instance, I did
know that I bumped my head on something.  An hour or two later, I went in
the house to see SWMBO looking at me in horror.  My forehead had a
significant amount of dried blood in my hair line and down one side toward
my temple.  I looked quite a sight.
