Let me set the scene - it's the afternoon and I've been typing away for a few hours doing powertrain coursework, measuring components, reading books and had done the good majority of my work (as much as I could without returning to the workshops, anyway).
I lean back in my chair, to take a break from the keyboard, book in one hand and squeezy stress-toy in the other:
A la. One of those ones where you squeeze and worms, bugs and blood appear in the bubbles that expand from it's mouth and eyes
Yum!
I won't put one of those shots in, just incase it upsets the squeamish.
Anyway, I'm reading through various data, merrily pumping away on the little fella trying to get some feeling back in my hand when I heard an odd "fffffffffffft" noise and a slight dampness on my arm.
..........
D'oh!
One of his little bubbles gave away at maximum puff and consequently vented all the fake blood everywhere!
A right pain to clear up
- One of those things that you don't wipe off, you just move it around on the surface!
Took a while to get it out of my clothes, as well! A suprising amount of fluid inside one of those! All up the screen, keyboard, over my folders..... (it's whilst I was clearning up in the pics).
Oh well, at least my "4 stroke performance tuning" book now looks like it's been through a warzone (as it absorbed the a large amount of the bloody blast directly).
Lesson = when you see stretch marks on your stress toys bubbles, be warned!
Oh well, no squeezy toy for me anymore
