Halloween Idea


I'm thinking about dressing up for Halloween as a homeowner who is finishing his basement and accidentally forgot to take his cordless drill off the top of the ladder before moving it. Ouch.

That reminds me of the time I punched you in the face in my sleep. You shouldn't have been trying to take my birthday cake, jerk!

Did the drill bit hit you there? You got freakin' lucky it didn't get you in the eye ball.

Why do Heywood's think injuries are funny? Not at the moment but afterwards of course. You are lucky, lucky you didn't trip too and fall backwards and have the ladder fall on you as well. You could have been near a flight a stairs too, isn't there like six of those things in that house? Scary!

It couldn't have hit in a better spot!

Too bad it will be gone by Halloween...maybe you'll have a new injury by then. That basement stuff can get tricky.

Cool stuff. Remember when Grandpa drilled clean through his arm?

Ahhhh, the memories.

Some people wouldn't guess what you were dressed up as, so maybe you should just paint a line under your other eye and wear a football helmet.

Who'd have thought that the warning to wear goggles while drilling actually was sound advice?

The Real Jim Heywood said...

Daniel brings up a good point. And it suggests that perhaps there are not enough warning labels:

WARNING! Remove drill from top of ladder before moving said ladder!

WARNING! Improve dodging skills before moving ladder with drill dumbly left on top!

WARNING! If above warnings are ignored, don't post photos of mishap so family can mock you in a public forum.

Hey John, your Dad is on to something. Maybe we can sue them for negligence. What were those morons thinking selling a drill without those warnings?
