Important safety tip...

[kickaha]

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.

That is so totally a you thing to do.

Train yourself in this:

If you have dropped something that is not living, just get out of the way of it and let it hit the ground. There are too many ways to get hurt and not enough things valuable enough to get hurt over. The first-cut (no pun intended) decision should always be to let it hit the ground.

I suggest catching children and pets, unless the pet weighs more than the children.

Yes, there are exceptions to this rule, but haven't you hurt yourself by catching things before? Several times? Didn't you tell me the story about the time you caught the knife you dropped and laid your hand open?

Oh, fuck, that's awful. Glad you didn't do it while I was visiting.

;p

Man. You have some of the most spectacular injuries. Someday I gotta put you in a room with The Man and our friend Billy the ex-football player and have you guys play "Oh yeah, if you think that was bad..."
