He actually went for six days with it in his head. He had hit himself with a nail gun in the mouth and just presumed he'd got bad toothache. After 6 days of continued pain he eventually went to hospital and found the nail had just missed his eye and stopped part way into his brain. His explanation was that the nailgun recoiled, spun 180 degrees and shot a nail into the roof of his mouth.

But how did he come up with that when he didn't even know the damn thing was embedded in his head for that long? This guy has to be really dumb or something. He deserves that bill.

A guy who works for my dad collapsed in the toilet (drunken stupour)and knocked a tooth out on the porcelain. The tooth embedded itself in his bottom lip.

He went for 36 hours with the pain of a missing tooth, and the pain of an embedded tooth in his lip, because he didn't want the hospital to know he'd done it while drunk.

the gun spun around and implanted 1.5 inches of steel into his brain, and he thought it was a toothache? Maybe that nail did more damage than they say...

Why the hell was he holding the nail gun away from the surface he was firing it into? Deserves to have it embedded in his skull if he's that stupid .

Isn't it? Wasn't it? Marvellous!
