OK, I'll stop laughing long enough to add more fuel to the fire!
Here's my personal top 5 brain dead attemps at self destuction:

1) Being so determined to budge a rusted muffler clamp, I failed to
notice that I'm pulling a 2 foot long breaker bar toward my face. Yup,
it lets go, full force. Woke up on the garage floor a few minutes later
with a splitting headache and one nasty bloody nose.

2) Battery hold down rotted out. No prob, I'll just do a hack tie down
with this thick, bare aluminum wire I've got hanging around the garage.
Yup, will wrapping the wire around the battery, bare handed, I manage to
snag the positive terminal of the battery. Wow that wire gets hot real
fast! Second degree burn acroos the palm of my hand.

3) Whilst concentrating intently of grinding down welding beads, I fail
to notice that I'm also grinding through the glove and into my finger.
OUch! They'll never get a good fingerprint off of my right index finger!

4) Sqish myself under the steering wheel by lying upside down on the
drivers seat. Spend 1/2 hour tracking electrical problem under
dashboard. Sudden back spasm renders legs useless! Good thing I can yell
real loud and my wife was home to hear it!

5) Try to be nice by pushing TR6 out of garage early one morning to
start it. That way no one in the house gets woken up by the noise.
However, the noise that did wake them up was the sound of the open
driver's side door ripping into the garage door track. Both the garage
and Tr6 doors require much realingment.
