A Squashed Tomato squashed my...errr....tomatoes!

[SimeonTurner]

I hesitate to post this, as I am sure you mongrels will all take great pleasure in making fun of me for it, but in retrospect it is damn funny, so what the hell.

I was shaping a squashed tomato last night (a big one too), and was happily sanding away at the sanding disc. My disc sits slightly higher than my knees, and I had my body positioned so that my legs were on either side of it, with my elbows resting on my knees as I worked. I'm not sure what happened, but suddenly the pipe slipped from my fingers, and the disc flung it with great force directly into my waiting crotch.

Needless to say, I spent about 20 minutes NOT shaping a pipe, but rather taking deep breaths and resting my forehead on the workbench while waiting for the misery to end.

Let this be a lesson to you new pipe makers out there! Eye protection is a good idea, but a cup is required when shaping a pipe!

But was the pipe okay?

Who could tell with Simeon's pipes anyway???

Luckily, I have a gigantic pair, so the pipe had quite a cushioned landing pad.

Simian,

Maybe you should arrange your sanding wheel setup differently. I know I probably would if that were to happen to me.

Simian,

That might be the funniest appellation I've seen here.

Simeon,
Sorry about your... uh... bad day.

But wait! You don't only get a handcrafted Turner Pipe, you also get a pipe in the nuts!

Too bad you weren't recording a "how to" video when that happened. You could have gotten rich on youtube with that one.
