Melted "T"

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

While I was living in California for a few years I met a man we'll call Kelly. Kelly was a jack of all trades, and one of his many professions was working on diesel trucks as a welder. One quality that makes this story so great is Kelly's extreemly high pain tolerance.

One day Kelly was working under a truck welding as he usually did about any other day. Whether Kelly was being particuarly careless or he was not using his usual welding apron, Kelly did not say. However in the course of his work he managed to get a hot ball of molten metal to slip into his apron and down his shirt. Kelly, with his high pain tolerance decided to take another few second to finish his job rather than to do something about the glowing metal guest that had now made its way into his pants.

Now in Kelly's words: "I hopped up faster than a frog fart and started ripping off my clothes as fast as I could, apron, pants, underwear and all. When I got my boxers off I looked down and saw that my right "T" had gotten melted to my leg. So i sat there for a second in complete shock, then i realized that I was either going to have to get "fixed" here or at the hospital. so..." (rip) (scream).

Fortunately for Kelly no permanent damage was done and he had 2 kids after this ordeal.

Thanks, Bigshot! Your colleague seems to have a tolerance for pain and a rather thick skull! Great punch line! This should get a few laughs out of the readers!

Ouch! With a pain threshold that high I'm sure he's got one or two other equally entertaining stories. Thanks for sending this in!
