What happened at your workbench today?

[PhilP]

So is it number '2', '3', '23', or '32'?

Hover mower, and flip-flops, anyone?

nearly 60 years ago.
me, using the mower beside a rivulet.
mower got stuck. - i pulled.
mower let go and landed on my foot.
the same split second i pushed the mower.
the mower landed and drowned in the rivulet.
i looked at my foot.
my brand-new (biker-)winter boot looked like a sandal.
leather, steelcap, sock - gone.
i wiggled my toes - no pain, no blood.

coming to the house, my mother saw the boots and got pale, without a sound.
my (step)father gave me about half an hour lesson about safety.
but nothing, that i did not had learned already between pulling the mower and wiggling my toes.

i still think, the best and most lasting teachings we get from/after making mistakes.

Depends which way it's going.

Well, not quite, there would always be people who would go out of their way to avoid using commonsense as it can sometimes be the more expensive way of doing things.

Just remember, almost all the warning labels in modern society are the result of someone being er... less than intelligent.
