When I was working construction I once shot myself with a nail. It was a
3.25" nail, and went in almost 3", in my left hand. It hit my index finger
in the first joint, and then was redirected so that it went into my hand
until the end of the nail could be seen under the skin in the center of the
back of my hand.

I gotta tell ya, it was not that painful. It felt like I had been bruised
with something, ok, a serious bruise. But that was about it.

When the docs xrayed my hand it hurt to hold it in certain positions, as it
did not want to move freely as you might imagine. Also when they removed
the nail it was the worst pain I had ever experienced, almost fainted from
it. But being shot or having the nail in me was not painful really.

And yes, I voted for Bush, too.

Dentist discovers 10cm nail in builder's brain
AP
January 18, 2005

LITTLETON, Colorado: A dentist found the source of the toothache that
had been troubling Patrick Lawler: a 10cm nail the construction worker
had unknowingly shot through the roof of his mouth six days earlier.

A nail gun backfired on Mr Lawler, 23, on January 6 while he was
working in a ski resort town in the Colorado mountains. The gun sent a
nail into a piece of wood nearby, but Mr Lawler did not realise a
second nail had passed through his mouth, embedded in his skull and
penetrated his brain.0
