1.) 13.5 pound scaffolding leveling jack with a 6 x 6 x 1/4 inch steel plate welded to the bottom dropped/thrown corner down on right big toe.Hurt dance= 20 minutes.
Hurt enough to see spots.
Bought steel toe boots at 6:00 PM sharp the same day.
2.) Piece of slag off an air/gas torch (Molten steel 3000°+ F) INSIDE above mentioned steel toe boot. Wearing liner socks under long underwear under wool socks under boots under jeans. Melted right through all the layers to leave a nice purple dot.
Hurt dance/rolling around on the floor trying to get boots off=about 10-12 minutes.
That is all. Lucky.

For anyone that hasn't had the pleasure of experienceing the "hurt dance".....................
Get a hammer, hit your thumb, very hard.
