About
A few years back I posted a photo of a sword jammed into the ground of Loy-Wood. I also told about how, when I jammed that sword into the ground, I actually missed by a few inches and the sword went through my shoe and hit bone on the topside of my right foot. If you remember… I also posted a pic of the shoe and the small entrance hole where the sword went in. A great moment in the bumbling life of Jimmy. Wellllllllll…………. Today I took a few swords into work. I have a young fella who works with me who is interested in swords. I took a few in. I hefted the one from the photo years ago and told him the story of how I accidentally jammed it into my foot. While I was recreating the moment, I turned my eyes towards him for dramatic effect and said, “I shot the sword down and instead of the earth it hit my foot!” And I repeated my actions of years ago. Two seconds later, very calmly, I said to Robert, “I just stabbed my knee.” “Are you serious???” “Yep.” Telling the story of my foot injury… I repeated the action and this time sent the sword easily into my thigh just a few inches above my right kneecap. I didn’t yell or yipe or scream… I simply said, “Yep.” Robert started laughing. I pulled my pant leg up… then Robert started rolling with enjoyment…. It bled for half an hour. Robert thought it the funniest thing he had seen in ages. While I was trying to staunch the flow, the phone at work rang. I answered, listened… then said very slowly (trying not to laugh) “I am sorry. I just cut my knee. Could you repeat everything you just said?”
Ahhhhh……. Another moment of glory in the life of Jimmie.
I used to brag, “How many people do you know who have a sword wound?” That has become…”How many people do you know who have TWO sword wounds????”
