Ok I thought about putting this in the injurys section but it wasn't that serious so settled on here
I am suffering from an alergic reaction to Stored Energy and Stupidity
I am in the middle of designing something (more when its done) and had to test some bungee cord
Now what I needed to know was how much it stretched before it hit the solid spot (no more stretch)
The method of the simple test was to hold both ends of the 2 metre bungee ( doubled up to 1 metre) one end in each hand
while sitting down I hooked the middle of the bungee over my foot and pulled up towards myself untill it stopped stretching
Now a few of you might be thinking that this dosen't sound like a good idea and I now realise this
The bungee slipped of my foot and as I had my hands either side of my head you can imagine the result
The left side of my top lip and the right side of my bottom lip came up like balloons and both of my cheeks soon followed I've also got a loose tooth (and a loose screw some would say
)
I spent about an hour last night with an ice pack stuck on my face and drinking was hilarious (ever been to the dentist
)
The moral of this story is don't slap yourself in the face with a bungee cord it hurts
