I'm dumb therefore I'm hurt

[H-ost]

So I was filling my cubes (no-chill) from my boil kettle and my siphon quit while trying to fill my second one. I'm dumb so I thought I could draw on it and try to start the siphon with my mouth and move my mouth out of the way fast enough to not burn myself ... NOPE! This is no-chill so the wort was still damn close to boiling. My mouth is numb and it feels like I have one giant callous in and on the side of my mouth. Haven't been able to taste anything since saturday.

Oh the things we do for beer...

Also makes me think of, Play stupid games; win stupid prizes!

Sorry.

Not as bad as my roommate from college who tried to iron his clothes while wearing them.

"Here's your sign."

Just so you know, I'm laughing at you, not with you, unless of course you are laughing, in which case I am laughing with you.

HAH! This is definitely not a pitty thread... I find my stupidity hilarious.

Don't feel bad bro, the other day I picked up my propane torch, that has the auto start, and accidentally hit the button which was pointed directly at the palm of my other hand. Needless to say, it didn't take me long to look at that blue flame.
I was lucky that it was only on for a split second. Thank goodness I have tough skin on my hands.

Didn't realize I didn't have a clamp on the hot side of the hose attachment on my immersion chiller the other day....near boiling hot water to the face when the hose shot off.

When I was younger and stupider I was pulling a cross brace out from between two floor joists. When it let loose I hit myself in the forehead with it. Hard enough to see stars.

Just after that my wife got home and freaked out. Apparently I was too pissed to realize I had blood running down my face.

OP.
Im sure there could be a whole thread on this
When I was around 11. I had a 2" mortar (fire work) and was playing with it in my bead room. Joking with a buddy getting a lighter as close as I could. Needless to say got too close....
Couldn't run to get it outside in time. Went off in my kitchen in my hand. 1st degree (if that's the worst one) all over my hand.

Told my mom I was twirling it by the fuse and it went off. Lol. She was gullible

One time a friend and I made a grenade out of a firecracker and a pill bottle stuffed with rocks. I tried to get the cap on before I threw it, but when you are in a hurry, things don't work as well as during practice.

It was about 2-3 feet from my hands when it went off. I had rocks stuck in my legs and hands (wearing shorts) and I could hardly hear for 2 days. I'm lucky I didn't get bits of rocks in my face!

What were we thinking??

My friends and I used to shoot each other with Roman Candles when we were kids. Still don't know why. I've also had a couple firecrackers explode in my hand. Hurt plenty in both situations, but never did any real damage.

I got my fingers pretty good with my immersion chiller this weekend. Cranked on the cold water, blasted my hand out of the hot end a second or two later. Still a little red, but no blisters so I think I'm good. There's plenty of stories floating around this site of people getting blasts of scaldling water on various body parts thanks to those things.
