You'll Shoot Your Eye Out Kid!

On Sunday Kent and I decided to buy ourselves a barbeque that we don't have to squat to use. We bought a pre-assembled one at Wal-Mart and figured we had better buy some bungee cords to secure it in the back of the truck. We bought two packs, just in case, but only used one to actually tie down the grill. When we get home Kent goes to open the other pack and, being Kent, stops and carefully reads the instructions.

Note number 3.

He then proceeds to hook the ends of two of them together and then hook them under his foot and pull. I was vacuuming and still heard the smack. Somehow they had slid out from under his foot and smacked him square in the eye. Luckily he was wearing glasses, not lucky for the glasses. The lense had fallen out and was on the floor. Glad we paid the extra money for the lenses that can take a good hit.

Kent said he was about to come and tell me to keep the cord away from face and body. I learned from example.
