Dust Collector Accident (a little levity)

I’m not to sure I’d have lived to tell that story.

Ooooh. I want to try that.

Oh, dear, can you come down to the workshop for a moment? Bring my clippers, will you?

-- Mark

oh man. not a good idea!

ROLMAF !!!! My eyes started watering and everthing. DW (Dear Wife) came in to see what was wrong with me and I tried to read it to her. After three attempts I gave up. She had to read it for herself.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! I was holding it together pretty well until I read this:

Whenever things would get a little boring on the cruise, I’d tell her, “Vicki, that haircut looks like
hell,” and it would start all over again.

Oh crap…I now need a new keyboard…..lol

Thats just wrong…. In a very very funny sort of way.

That is sooooo funny. It is not a woodworking story but it did take place in the woodshop so I guess it is OK. It’s not a project that I would recommend that you Lumberjocks take on.

What a hoot! Thanks, I needed that.

That was a great lift for the day. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks I needed that…........Reallly funny!

You know this has to be real, no one could make it up! Very funny!

Just relating this tale to my wife has given me a free, life-long pass on assisting her with tonsorial duties in any way.
She began shaking her head and moaning “Noooo” as soon as the words dust collector and hair clippers were uttered in the same sentence.
Thanks, Myron!

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

Oh man, that is funny. I seldom sit alone and laugh out loud, but this one did it.

-- Maplewood, MN

This was good, I have to share this story!

-- Jim

HallTree . . . how about this . . . for the next LJ challenge how about incorporating a DC and some sort of personal grooming product. Could make for some interesting pics . . . probably a few divorces as well :-)

Myron . . . do you know if this guy is a LumberJocks? I think he would fit in quite well.

Does no one remember the Flo-Bee?
It attached to a vacuum cleaner and had different length attachments to cut the hair.
I think the suction worked the cutter and it sucked up the hair at the same time.

Promoted as a Do-It-Yourself hair cutter.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

A great story. But, not for the faint of heart.
