Important safety tip...

When you drop a window AC unit, and grab it in mid air, do not do so by slamming your hand into the array of razor sharp vanes on the outside, and applying sufficient pressure to stop it.

There is more friction there than you might expect.

Well, until the blood starts, then it gets slick again.

Nah, God would never let him become immobile, because then he would no longer be able to entertain us by dropping sharp things on himself.

As for cleaning up after him, I have three words: "picnic" and "garden hose".

That is, as I'm sure you expect, four words. Unless you're only counting the ones in the quotes, but then you've still got another word just sitting around there, doing not much of anything.

I am, by the way, enjoying the thought that the only reason Jason isn't in this conversation, bantering away with us, is that he's sitting at his computer with his hands both bandaged up to the size of boxing gloves, unable to hit less than twelve keys at a time. He's eyeing the pencils, wondering what his typing speed would be with one clutched in his lips.

I need a nap and a margarita.

I'm a generous tipper.

I'd actually figured that the blood loss had resulted in hallucinations and a lack of ready wit on Jason's part, but then I wondered how to explain away the rest of the time.

Work, and then pottery class. :)

Had to wear a latex glove to keep the clay on the wheel from ripping it anew. :D
