Yup. That’s an actual x-ray. And maybe the most disturbing thing I’ve ever put on the blog (except for that picture of Charlie Rangel sunbathing. I’m still really sorry about that.)
But here’s what happened. An 86 year old man was using pruning shears. To make a long story short he dropped them and then he tripped. And voila! You’ve got instant old man-kabob.
Turns out that somehow the guy’s fine. No moral of the story other than add pruning shears to the list of things you shouldn’t run (or trip) with.

The "shear" improbability *snort* …OK, that was mean. I'm sorry.

Eye think he now nose better…aw, crap, I did it too! Kudos to those surgeons & doctors who took care of him. Thank God there was no permanent damage!

I looks like it only damaged skin…ow, but good thing it wasn't deeper.
