I always manage to hurt myself when doing handyman stuff around the house. When you do any type of handyman-type work, things tend to "disappear" (from my POV) because tools and sh*t are lying all over the place and at some point, you stop seeing them. (Now, where did I leave that box of screws and the screwdriver.) I had just pruned tall tree branches with a long pole saw in my backyard. I leaned the pole saw against a bench and the sharp cutting end was facing me at an angle. I cleared some branches into a waste bin. After a few tiring minutes of picking up branches and leaves, I had to pick up some stray branches which had fallen just beyond the bench where I had set my pole saw down. As I said, sometimes when you do housework, things look invisible around you. I walked toward the stray branches and didn't see the pole saw sticking out an angle toward me. I took a couple of steps and bam! walked right into the pole saw and jabbed me in the guts. Luckily, I wasn't walking fast and the worst thing that happened was a torn shirt and a shallow gash across my midsection.
I almost electrocuted myself while pruning a tall bush that surrounds the power company cables into my house. My shears actually made contact. Luckily, nothing happened. It's one of those things where you just cut and cut and cut till you're exhausted and you don't know where you're cutting anymore.
Oh yeah, I fell off the roof and onto my back. Fortunately, I landed on the green waste bin near the ladder that broke my fall.
You know, stuff happens.

Two, while s&^t certainly happens, no need to invite it by yelling "F#%k that gator" while diving into gator infested waters or launching a firework off your noggin. BTW, I'm definitely getting a T-Shirt that says "F#%K THAT GATOR."

Still, I'm sure some entrepreneurial soul will come out with one soon.

I wonder if they still sell Gator Hater t-shirts at J&M Bookstore in Auburn?

Obviously he did not hit the cauldron because he survived. Is this only Honorable Mention for the Darwin Award?
