I guess you are trying to start a new look?

Sorry Norm, I could not resist!
My own personal stupid story, I crawled into a truck cab as far as I could get (the door would not open all the way due to a tree), and then removed a part with a screwdriver. I then noticed the truck had a horn button, so I pulled that as well. When I got it free from the steering wheel, the wire was stuck, so with the screwdriver in my hand I pulled on the wire. The wire broke, and the business end of the screwdriver hit me dead center in my glasses! That was a DAMN close call, and I have tried to mmore careful ever since, as I would have lost my eye, or maybe died if I had not been wearing glasses. Neadless to say, the glasses had a HUGE scratch/dent, and that lens had to be replaced.
Oh, and I had to drive my truck and 36' trailer 10 hours home without being able to see well out of the one lens, I do not think I could have gotten the truck home if I had hit my eye!
Be careful out there! Nothing is worth your vison, or your hearing, or any other part of your body, use the proper safety equipment!
