So much for being a good guy!

Figured I'd get the wife in the mood.......to let me go fishing. Vaccumed the house. Dusted the furniture. Made the beds. Did 3 loads of laundry, all folded and put away. Made coffee so it would be fresh when she got home from work. All going good so far. Decided to hurry up and knock washing the dishes before she got home. Just about done when I dropped a soapy glass in the sink full of other glasses. Thought nothing of it. Went on washing glasses. As I was washing the rim of the next glass, felt a "thud", then the dish water started gettting red. I had knocked a chip out of the rim of one glass and just was smart enough to run the web between my right hand ring and little finger right over it. Pulled my hand out of the sink of red soapy water to see about a 1 inch long, 1/4 in deep gash. Grabed a paper towel and wrapped it up, showered up, and headed for the hospital. Three stitches later, the doctor says the strings he put in to close the gap would have to stay in for 12 days, and that fishing was out of the question cause of the possibility of infection. Great!

Next time, I'm going fishing, taking the butt chewing when I get home, and then doing all the house work to get out of the dog house. This advanced planning and paying dues up front really stinks!

Ouch. Did the same thing washing dishes 33 years ago. Haven't washed a glass since!!

I had a new intern sewing me up and asked him, "Will I be able to play my mandolin?" He replied, "Sure. No problem." Then I said, "Hey, that's great doc, I never could play it before."

I'm sure your got some STAMPS from the little wife in appreciation for your efforts. NOW, if you can't, or don't need them, send them to me care of Jamestown, KY.

Go fishing and wear surgical gloves.. It's a thing to do even if you don't have three stitches.

I don't think I'd worry about an infection from fishing, but even if you are you could use the suggested surgical gloves.

There is a bright side to this. I was running around town doing errands, and had to hit several stores to pick stuff up the wife wanted. At every checkout counter, the pretty young thing operting the register asked me what happened, then got all teary eye when she learned I was doing things for the wife when I cut cut.

I think I might just go buy some more bandages and see how far this can take me.

I told the wife what happened at the stores tonight. I'm glad I got wi-fi and a laptop. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to write this to you all from my van where I'm sleeping tonight.

I think if I get up real early and make breakfast, she might let me shower in the house in the morning. If not, well, I guess the neighbors will have to turn there head when I turn on the lawn sprinkler.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.

Let me guess you forgot to tell all those young ladies you were doing all those nice thing so you could go fishing.

Can't agree. With my wife....getting permission takes flowers, or meals, or back rubs. Foregiveness earns me nights int eh van and stitches........foregiveness hurts!

I had a friend who broke a bone in his left hand. He has never fished with a spinning rod for bass only for bluegill. He has always been a diehard baitcaster man. With a cast on his left hand he went and bought a $350 spinning combo. It was really funny to watch because when he would reel he would rotate his arm at the shoulder because he could not bend his wrist. He used it for about 2 months, then sold it to me for $100 bucks. So if you want to go fishing bad enough you will do anything.
