Jun.11.2008 I could be a doctor

I thought there was a science to being a doctor. Turns out, all you need is a hammer and a little bit of hope.

A suburban Kansas City man said he feels fine, even though a nailgun accidentally fired a 2.5-inch nail into the top of his head.

The mishap occurred last Friday while George Chandler of Shawnee, Kan., and a friend were doing a project in a back yard.

The nailgun hose became tangled, causing the powerful tool to fire one nail. Chandler on Monday said he told his friend he did not know where the nail went, but he felt a sting on the top of his head.

“He looked at me and said, ‘I need a claw hammer,”‘ Chandler recalled. “I thought, ‘Ah, he’s just teasing.”‘

So the doctor borrowed a claw hammer from a worker to finish the job and sent Chandler home with a few stitches.

God I love smalltown life. It’s just so simple. Like you flunk out of craftsmanship school, become a doctor, get drunk off of Jim Bean, and then decide to live out your dreams of being a carpenter at your medical facility! Fun fact: That was also how Jesus cured people. With a claw hammer.

Similar story happened to me and a bowling trophy. Only instead of a claw hammer, it was a lubed up glove, a flashlight, and a whole lot of remorse. Sigh. That’s just how big city life is, I suppose. You put one thing up your butt in a sober 11AM haze and people never let you live it down.
