Post Bad Wrench! Bad, Bad Wrench!

I was under the 'stang just finishing up tightening up the bolts from the cat-back to the h-pipe. You know, the ones that I can never seem to get a decent grip on with a wrench. Well, I'm going for one last crank on the wrench when the one in my left hand slips off the nut and drops right on my forehead. SOB, that hurt! Well, my wife heard me and comes out to the garage just as I'm rolling out from under the car, blood is spurting off my forehead. (Note to wife: next time I get out from under the car spurting large amounts of blood, don't freeze - DO SOMETHING!) Evening in the E.R. takes the place of dinner and a movie. Ended up with a 3/4" long gash (11/16" diameter) just above the left eye. Also found out they're using Super Glue in place of stitches these days. Could've done that myself and saved about $250 and 2 hours. Still had to finish the car so I could move it and close the garage. Ended up eating pizza and renting "The Mexican". Would have been better without Julia Roberts.
