I am a figure of fun in the office because I shortened my thumb by 4mm yesterday with a Stanley knife and spent several hours in A&E.
It was stupidity: I was cutting a piece of veneered chipboard with only an aluminium rule between the blade and my thumb (next time I'm using angle iron). But in my defence I've spent the last four years taking a whole floor of a house "back to slab" as they say in the refurbishment sector, remaking ceilings, stud walls and door frames and fitting a new kitchen and bathroom, and my dynamic risk assessments protected me pretty well up to now. Unless it was just luck
It certainly brings you back to what a great thing the opposable thumb is, though, being robbed of the use of one for a while.
