I actually got to live through a classic joke!
This is 100 percent true. Yesterday I was using electric hedge trimmers on my front bushes. My right hand was holding the safety handle. My left was holding a knob on the front right by the blades. That hand slipped and I reached out to stop it..... And grabbed the blades, still going.
There was blood everywhere. I was taken right away to the ER. My hand was cut pretty bad.
As he was giving me my 22 stitches, I suddenly looked the doctor right in the eyes.
"Oh my God, doctor," I said, "Am I going to be able to play the violin after this?"
He nodded. "You cut yourself bad, but you'll be able to play the violin after this."
I started giggling: "That's fantastic! Cause I wasn't able to play it before this!"
And then I laughed and laughed.
The doctor didn't find it so funny.
