Boba Rhett Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Man shoots nail in his head, doesn't notice SANTA CLARITA, Calif.- A nail in the brain has got to hurt, right? Not to construction worker Jorge Hernandez, who accidentally shot himself in the head with a nail gun and didn't realize it. Hernandez says he didn't know he had a nail in his head until he saw it in the mirror of his car. The nail apparently ricocheted off a piece of metal, went through his eye socket and lodged in his brain. He says his face felt hot but he didn't even have a headache. It took doctors three hours to remove the more than-three-inch long spike. Somehow, the nail managed to miss his eye and not cause any brain damage. Hernandez's brain surgeon feels that kind of luck is better than winning the lottery. And now for my heartless, unfunny joke about the accident.

Admiral Odin Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 I am curious how he did this. It is a little hard to shoot yourself in the head with a Nail Gun, especially when your not planing on doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zygomaticus Posted September 8, 2002 Share Posted September 8, 2002 Tie Guy, another pun and you will be punished!!! Man, that's just awfully, terrifyingly, mysteriously, horrendously, scary to think about it... oh well, he will see tomorrow, he will eat tomorrow, he will bathe (maybe not) but he definately will visit the bathroom and he will sleep tomorrow. So let's not worry anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfmanNCSU Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Nailed that guy But in all seriousness, I have had a nail gun through one of my fingers. We were working on a community house project (habitat for humanity) and I was holding the boards when other person was using the gun. She was not strong enough to use it and hold it down against the board, so when she pulled the trigger, it pushed her hands back causing the nail to miss where she was aiming and hit the side of one of my thumbs. It stung for a bit, but I was fine. Pulled it out, put on a bandaid, continued working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
