THE WEIRDEST WAY YOU’VE BEEN INJURED

The Fark website asked readers for the weirdest way they’ve ever been injured. Here are some of the responses:
– “Last night we had a severe thunderstorm. I went outside to make sure things were secure. I grabbed a trashcan that was blowing down the street, and a huge wind gust grabbed the trashcan and literally blew me 5 feet in the air. I bumped my head, my legs and elbows are all scraped up and my ankle is the size of a grapefruit today.”
– “I opened my cabinet and a bottle of hot sauce fell out, bounced off the counter and landed cap side down on my foot. Broken bones in my foot.”
– “I stood up from my seat on a city bus before it had stopped. Bus jerked. I wobbled, just — wobbled. There was a nasty cracking sound, as of someone breaking a good-sized stick. And then there was pain, because I had just broken my right tibia.”
– “I broke a rib while coughing.”
– “I cut myself deep enough to leave a scar on a piece of toast.”
– “I took up beekeeping this spring. First time I opened up the hive for inspection, one of the bees crawled down the back of my pants and stung me in the butt.”
* It’s just nature’s way of saying Death hasn’t forgotten you.
* “I was answering an internet survey and my keyboard electrocuted me.”
* Bear in mind, all these things happened in a country with a Consumer Products Safety Commission and an Occupational Safety and Health Administration and a National Safety Council. Imagine what happens in a country without those things.
* Basically, the entire world needs a warning label.
