First, sorry for bad english. Me not englishspeaker. To "qualify", I'll say I've over 20, and having a bachelor degree, not a complete morron, or at least I hoped. As I suppose even a morron would not have tried what I have done. I'm a regular reader of your website and as every probable reader, I used to think :" this could never happen to me". Well, it quite happened. You know all those funny packages they use now for technological devices such as a headphone and so on. Funny nice stuff of hard transparent plastic. Fuck!n' hard to open too. So I was in my kitchen with the nice package in hand and trying to open it 'till I saw a pair of scissor. Well, I just get them, but the stuff was too big. So I had the Grrrreat idea. I blocked the package on my sternum (in order to use my both hands) and started to push hard on the package with the scissor blades... And of course the scissor ripped and slide. Good thing I wasn't pushing so hard 'cause I managed to stop them before they go through my sternum. Straight into my heart. Yups.

Your English is actually quite good. I'm sorry, Hurg, but this just doesn't say 'Darwin' to me. The other moderators may differ. Keep practising (your English!), and submit again!

So you basically used your chest as a cutting board? That's pretty stupid in my eyes, and I think worthy of a PA. Thanks, Hurg!
