Old Man Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Worse are the pictures I inadvertently come across when I do images searches. "Chainsaw safety" was a bad one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I rarely search for images, to a considerable degree for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Google's usually pretty good about it. Just once in a while I'll type in a search that I think is innocent, but I'm wrong. So wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I was hit by a car once. Later, when I waited at the ER to be let in, a Volvo pulled up and dropped off this guy, who had his left arm wrapped in a kitchen towel. When the nurse buzzed the door open, I told him, "You look worse off than me - you go first." Towel guy thanks me, and steps through the gate - and I see his back for the first time, covered by a shredded T-shirt and lots of shallow cuts. I just had to ask him what had happened to him - he said that his buzzsaw ran away with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
