I have a 28 oz checkered head ripping hammer. I cringe just thinking
about hitting a thumb with it. It already has a notch on it. A drunk
hit himself in the forehead with the claw on the back swing.

When I was building shopping centers, one of my carpenters hit his
thumb with one. A long handled Estwing, as a matter of fact.

Just like mine.

just made his thumb explode. I get a radio call from my foreman saying
Tennessee had hit his thumb. I couldn't understand why the fuss, Tenn
is a hardy sort of guy after all. I'd think he could work with a blood
blister. When I got there he was holding his t shirt on his thumb, I
looked at it and instantly took him to the emergency room!

I watched a guy drive 16d nails below flush with one blow with one. If
I had been there I would have broken the law and gave him my emergency
Percocet I carry in case I get hurt. I always figured you hit your
thumb with one of those, and you lose half of it.

Oh, his thumb was never the same after that! He was a fun guy though
always getting hurt. He was walking under a scaffold one time, and
they were taking it down to move. One of the walk boards, those big,
nasty solid oak ones. The guy slides it off of the end of the
scaffold, where it comes in direct contact with Tennessee's head!
Knocks him out. The guy rushes to him, and shakes him. When Tenn's
eyes open, the scaffold guy says, "You know where you're at?" Tenn
looks at him and says "Yeah, I'm on the ground. But I don't know how I
got here!"
