I did this on a gland nut but was not laughing when done. I was almost crying then nearly fainted. When my breaker bar broke, I caught my knuckle on on something and removed my little fingernail. Not just bent back, but entirely riped out along with a good patch of skin. This was last August and it still hasn't healed completely

Bob Hoover had a good injury story a few weeks ago--any others?
