Default OT learning it the hard way

Ok, i bet everyone did something stupid while working on his ACVW.
Today it was my turn.....

I wanted to check the timing on my bug with a strob-light but the sparkplug
connectors did't mach both sides. I remembered that there were little brass
thingies that came allong with the plugs so i twisted them on the top of the
plug and yes, one side fitted on the strob. To fix the other end i wanted
to do the same there but then i needed to open/trash an old plug... you
guessed it i did this partially with bare hands.... STUPID!!

I ended up with a cut in my thumb bleeding like ....my grilfriend can...
Could not see if it was deep or not cause of the blood so i went to the
emergency and let them have a look. In the end it was not so bad and did not
needed a good ol' fashion needle work and had more paperwork than 'real'
work.

The good thing is i've got my teanus shot so i can hurt myself for the next
10 years!

O, the strob still doesn't fit.....

Greetings from stupid
