Point? Too much of a baby to pull it out and get a tetanus shot?

Them florida boys can't handle the pain. lol... A nail through the foot is nothing compared to snapping your femur in half (speaking from experience in both fields).

i stepped on a screw once, when i noticed it i took the screw out, realized blood was going everywhere, then screwed it back in and went to the er, and snapping your femur is nothing compared to literally shooting your knee cap outa your knee, or shattering every bone in your hand and wrist

Only thing with the femur is more often than not its a deadly when it breaks...

yeah but im pretty sure a "flying" knee cap can be deadly too if it hit someone in the face. my knee cap was moving too

I can't tell you how many times I've stepped on nails. I'm pretty sure a few members on here can even tell you how bad one was, since I sent pictures of one of them with my camera phone, lol. Never once went to the ER (tetanus shot a few years ago FTW!). I guess you southerners are kinda wimpy.

Well apparently my scanner software sucks and won't let me save any scan over 2GB, so I just had to screenshot the preview which you can't really see detail in...

Anyway, I put an arrow pointing to my break. Was in the hospital for four days.

Stepped on nails before , they dont hurt as much as driving a 1 1/2 nail through your thumb . the worst pain a male can ever experience is having a heart attack , it is even more painful than getting kicked in the nuts. I know this from experience as I had a heart attack 3 years ago
. Here in Canada , when one steps on a nail all you get is a tetanus shot ,they are good for 10 years

I thought they were good for 7 years?

And how often have you gotten kicked in the nuts? Lol.

Worst pain I've ever been in was after I broke my back. Only cracked one vertebrae on the left side (couldn't tell you what number it was since I didn't really care, lol) but it hurt so bad I can't even think of anything to compare it to. Only took about a week off and then I was back on light duty windshield time, lol.

Lucky you to be back to work in 7 days. I was on the couch for at least twice that. One night my cat jumped up on my bad leg too.

Other than the femur, I have been lucky enough to only suffer from one other indecent.
This past year I broke the top rib on my right side and had to lay in bed in one spot for almost a month for it to heal. (sleeping pills FTW)

Sorry it was a first for me and i tried pulling it out but it wouldn't so when i couldn't get it out i went to the ER. IT didn't hurt you dumb fucks and i can walk on it fine.
