Slick tool for "chip in the eye" syndrome

i never wore safety glasses until the cut off wheel on a dremel tool broke and went into the eye and left 12 pieces of it in one eye.. luck me the did not go though the eye, just the outside layer..... went to emergency room.. doctor there could not do too much...(saturday evening) told me to call up an eye doctor and go to his offic in the morning.. i went home and call up this eye doctor that he gave me his bus. card.. the doctor says: who told you to meet in the office in the morning.. i tell him the emergency room doctor.. he says OK, see you there at 9:00 am... i go there and he pulls out the stuff and puts some med. on it tells me to come back in about one week... went to pay him.. no, pay the girls who work the office when you come back.. i dont know what to do with the payments... that was 25 yrs. ago.. i dont do nothing now without eye protection... dont car what kind of idiot i look like with the glasses on....

Ah, I still recall your excellent discussion on the rust ring eraser tool. Thanks.

I knew a lady who did that (her mouth, not her dogs...) but she had a variety of other habits that were equally as horrifying. The same night she did that, she washed down four birth control pills with a shot of bourbon. "Must have forgotten these...."

You miss the point sir. To us you would look like the eedjut without the glasses on. Nobody here would think twice about smacking somebody upside the head if they showed up without them in our shop.

Most folks seem to think I look like a dork, so safety glasses are probably an improvement But there are the occasional accidents where a lack of safety glasses is probably a blessing.

Survive something like that and you wind up with a belief in God, luck, or both...

Not my dog - he just found the 'hide it away for a rainy way' chunk of something - it was under the table in the office - back in the corner. Who knows how long it sat there - he came in hunting it out - finally found it or one... Figure it had to age a bit.

My Elk Hound used to take a chunk of cheese or bone and dig a hole & wait for a week or so. Then dig it out and slobber it down green mold and all. (Good ole days).

Unfortunately, anything you put in a dog's mouth usually isn't seen again until it comes out the other end. And that can't /possibly/ be very sanitary... ;-)

I wore soft contacts for three or four months, right up till the first time one popped out as I was 3/4 of the way up climbing a phone pole on gaffs. -2.75 & -3.25 nearsighted. Once I managed to get back on the ground safely (climbing by braille & sweating bricks), the contact lenses went back in their case and never came out again...
