5. My accident claim to fame is that I dropped a rototiller on my head.

I was adjusting something and the handle slipped out of my hand, and a corner of SOMETHING on the tiller smacked into my head. I thought I had some tea tree oil but I was wrong. So I applied pressure until I THOUGHT the bleeding had stopped and decided to walk up to the health food store, just up the road. I figured maybe driving might not be a good idea.

Just as I paid for the oil and turned to leave the store, I felt the unmistakable sensation of warm blood streaming down through my hair.

Somehow I made it home, treated the gash, and went back to work. I doubt it was big enough to require stitches. Head wounds just bleed a whole lot.
