.An avocado got the upper hand on the future Mrs.



That'll teach ya to try to look at porn at work!

duuuuuuuuuude. crazy gash.

That has the potential to have the same effect as braces.


Just sayin'.

Her gash? whoa! all I see is a badly cut finger..

Twitch:

Having spent many years working in kitchens (slicing, burning, and bludgeoning my hands into stumps of scar tissue in the process), I have something of a sick fascination with wounds like the one your future Mrs. is enduring. In this particular case, my fascination is with the fact that she managed to do so much damage while cutting an avocado, which, in my experience, is generally a fairly soft and forgiving item.

What's the story behind the gorey? Sick minds want to know....

ouch

FF,

She runs the dietary program at an assisted living facility. This involves doing a lot of the meal prep. A secondary dream has been to also go to culinary school...

She's one of those types that can put a head of cabbage on a cutting board, go all ginsu on it, and have coleslaw in like 10 seconds.
She also prefers to hold things in her hand when cutting/trimming them; tops off radishes, peeling potatoes with a knife, not a peeler... etc.
In this case, she was de-pitting avocados with a paring knife. Slice in half, stick blade under pit, flick it out, then peel out the guts. As she tried to flip out one of the pits, the whole shitaree slipped in her hand, and wha-la, fillet-o-finger.

i really need to share my story of getting shived by the wife at the time... very graphic.

Nice job Twitch, looks like 2# Chameleon, eh ?

Hope there was no tendon damage and that she works you hard with the sympathy routine.

Next time spend the money and have a professional sew her up.

Damn!

I wouldn't tell her right away, but a small slice in the top of the exposed seed and a twist takes the seed right out. Forget the "flipping"/slicing-my-finger thing.

How to....

Damn Twitch,

That was not what I expected. Had to open it on thursday morning even.

Exactly what I said when she came home!!! "Where did your boss take you, Bi-Mart?"

'A few more granny knots here... maybe run one through that flapper thing there, ah yes, a couple quick ones in the proximal inter-phalangeal joint .... ooh, I'm gonna run one last one right through the distal inter-phalangeal joint just for inconvenience sake',..." Hey, do we have any Sufix? This Chameleon is murder on knots!...

Doc originally told here 6 stitches should do, then added a few more in the gaps of the original six after he looked at it again...

seriously, whoever tied those nots never took boyscouts.

Thanks, Twitch. I can certainly see how it happened now. Slab is right; you can generally de-seed an avocado by gently thumping the seed with the business end of a blade (a heavier chef knife works best) and twisting. However, especially in foodservice, where you don't always get to hand-select your produce, you sometimes run across avocados that are less than ripe, and the thump and twist does not work for those, so you are left with no choice but to cut around the seed as best you can and extract it. I have stabbed myself doing that before, so I can relate.

Best wishes for rapid healing and no loss of feeling.

Ouch X 2,0000.Good luck,
SZ

Did something similiar while watching a Seahawks game once. The rams fumbled inside the 5, the hawks recovered it. The bar went nuts. I started banging one of those glass ashtrays ...(long ago when you were free to smoke in taverns....)

Chicks and knives don't go well together.

Dr. Hamfist needs to spend a little time at the tying bench.

I knew that with no whip finish it wasn't you, Twitchie.
