A few years ago we were cleaning out our fish pond and separating the plants. I had my knife and was cutting through the roots of one plant (did about 12) when my wife says "your going to cut yourself like that". Next pass, stabbed the point of the knife into my foot. Caught a small artery so off to the ER we go, me bending down holding my finger on the wound listening to my wife say told you so all the way.

Now for the part I thought was funny. Now remember, this is a very small puncture in the side of my foot. As we check into the ER, I explain what happened to what seemed to be everyone there including other patients. Every staff member I spoke with asked me what happened an WROTE IT DOWN. After telling this story about 15 times I decided to be a wise acre. So finally the doc comes in and sure enough, asks me the same question. I told him that I thought I would just end it all. Did you know that doctors have no since of humor? He puts his (my) file down and asks me how long I have been having these feelings. I told him since i had come into the ER and told the same story to everyone there. I then asked him if anyone ever reads what was written down about why we were there. Not once did he even crack a smile, just put in a couple of stitches, wrote something else in my chart that no one will ever read and walked out.
