Safety tip

This tip could save your marriage. I recently cleaned out my shop in order to make more room for my 57. Never knew a person could accumulate so much junk. I found an old crankshaft hidden in all the junk, forgot I had it. Now I wished I had never seen it. Safety tip everybody should heed: get rid of it fast and if you chose to keep it make sure you do not stand it own it's end near anyplace your wife may visit without securing it where it CAN NOT be knocked over. I failed to do so and now wife has a broken big toe as well as smashed. Needless to say she has been using words directed to me that I still do not understand. I being a brave man asked her the question what was she doing messing around in my shop? At this time I'm not sure if it is my shop any more. Red headed women have no sense of humor.

I guess making her wear steel toe boots is out of the question too? :eek:
She may have temp lost her sense of humor, but I'm really enjoying yours. :D:congrats: Lloyd

And yeah I know, it ain't funny.
Those type of boots could become harmful to my health
woooow redheaded nuff said. good luck. rick
If she loves you get her the steel toed boots, but be warned women have been know to throw things at husbands who cause their body parts to be broken. You could end up with a broken head to match her broken toe.

Sorry to hear about her accident.

Man, I know EXACTLY what you're going through - Brunettes have no sense of Humor either. When things like this happen to me - I always ask those same "silly/stupid/Ignat/Death Defying' questions!! Hopefully, she has short term memory, but; if she's like my wife - no chance - it goes directly to Firm Memory!!:anim_25:

You got it. Most women never forget anything except when it is bad for them and then they have no memory whats so ever.
Well this isn`t funny, even if it seems funny to us at times. Hopefully at least you learned something new too. Hope she mends quickly.

Guess that would make her "cranky". Hope she mends fast and forgets even faster.
I feel Your pain!! and also Her's!! but Red Heads have that Harddrive memory, don't think that problem will go away too soon!!, Forget the steel toed boots, they hurt like H***!!! when getting kicked by them.
Hope You can think of something nice to do for Your Wife to ease the pain.

Sorry to read about the wife and her big toe.

TELL ME!!!!

I have put up with on all my life. Cause my mother's one.

I have a respect for my father that goes beyond that of normal father/son relationships. Cause my father stuck with out with my mother for over 50 years.

Doubt I could have stayed with a red head as long as he has.
Sorry to hear about the mishap. Funny how they always think we rig these things as boobytraps!

My Dad told me many years ago: "Son if you want to get along with your wife remember these three responses: "You were right, I was wrong, and it will never happen again":sign0020:

I've never dated a redhead, but I once saw a BEAUTIFUL young redhead with blue eyes that I would have done just about anything just to get close to her! Some things you just never forget. Dave
poor wife !!

I guess now she knows what a crankshaft is heh?? And smart enough to stay away from them!!
I was able to sleep better when I was in Vietnam. However she is getting closer to the ground so she is cooling off. I don't think she is mad at me, just mad because I didn't take the time to secure the crank to prevent it from hurting someone.
We Got It!

Cecil, We really do feel her pain and while we thought your description of the aftermath was hilarious - we do know it must hurt like heck - please pass on our good wishes with hopes that it heals quickly!

I feel your pain, hopefully she is not as mad as my wife was when she figured out I electrified the backyard gate to keep the dog from getting out. I neglected to tell her I did that to keep her BABY in the yard so she wouldn't get hit by a car. Hope she mends quickly, keep one eye open :eek:.
