The Amazing DeWALT Drill

Yesterday while cooking up some dinner, I heard a knock on the door! What do you know, nice neighbors had come bearing yummy treats! As I stood in the doorway chatting (it would have been rude not to), I held Sylvia in an arm, and the candy plate in the same hand. As we said goodbye, something went terribly wrong. Not exactly quite sure what (Sylvia squirmed, I tripped, the treats were falling - who really knows), but the next thing I felt was pure pain! I seriously wanted to start crying. I glanced at my poor thumb which I had just slammed in the door - and I mean I slammed it! Hi-yah! The sad looking finger was already turning black under the nail. For a slight moment, I thought about curling into the fetal position, but rather I quickly pulled myself together so I wouldn't completely destroy the delicious candy that had been so nicely made! As I crawled into bed that night, I could still feel my heart beating in my thumb. You know the endless throb that makes it hard to concentrate on anything else! Let's just say it was a rather long night, but we made it! I called Dad first thing this morning. He has smashed his fingers with a hammer numerous times! He would know what to do - and did he ever! True to character Dad pulled out his dewalt drill and .....

Yes HE DID! Drilled a hole right through the nail. I must confess it hurt like a bugger for a moment, but then ahh...sweet relief. The pressure was gone! Never in my life would I have guess that drilling a hole through you fingernail could be quite so delightsome! It is amazing how some people get their kicks!
