Clumsy/stupid days

MikeHunt79 · 22 Sep 2008 at 22:34

Does anyone else have days when they are particularly clumsy or stupid?

Today I cut my tongue with a knife after licking it, and I also managed to electrocute myself with some 240v from the mains.

This sort of thing doesn't normally happen to me, but I'll be happy if I make it thru the rest of the day with nothing else happening to me! :eek:

Nope, shortly after posting this he discovered some blood on one of his keys, so popped the key out using the aforementioned knife, only for it to land in his oesophagus and suffocate him.

Maybe.

nothing serious then?

You licked your knife? Seriously? Do you lick your plate too?

Yup.

I blame it on the time of the month. What's your excuse?

Ive been electrocuted a few times, lucky we have AC power. One time my mum put 3 small picture frames into the wall above a light switch so all 3 nails went into the wire. Then when i was painting the wall i grabbed a picture and got zapped

.

I'm always clumsy in the mornings, Ive put the coffee jar into the fridge on several occasions. Milk in the cupboard etc.

Electrocution is death brought on by electricity. Not strictly clumsy, more inattentive, but I picked up a bottle of milk from the step yesterday and squished a massive slug that was climbing up it at the time. Oh, how I retched.

Voltage means nowt without a current.

^ It was straight from a kettle lead, 5amp fuse (it didn't blow), I'm lucky to be alive really. :eek:

Yep, just about, only 10 mins until Tuesday and this day of stupidity and bad luck for me will be over.

Nope not normally, but I just polished off a choc cake and there was a massive chunk of cake left on the knife... It was just too tempting.

i swear to god the thread name was "clumsy/stupid chavs" did you change it with in last min?

PardonTheWait · 23 Sep 2008 at 00:02

You were not electrocuted. No one in this thread has been electrocuted, as you are all still alive.

Electrocution = deaded

After all my tinkering with electric things I never knew that...

wikipedia said:
Electrocution is also frequently used incorrectly to refer to a non-fatal electric shock.

I said that 15 minutes ago. Dunno where everyone is getting this 'chav' business from though.

Licking knives is pretty stupid. Maybe he licks windows too?
