Brothers Injured While 'Play Fighting' With Sword And Toilet Plunger (Stabbed)

[matcom]

<snip>

Police attributed a sword injury to an accident Sunday afternoon.

According to a police report, two brothers who share an apartment in the 1600 block of East McKinney Street were “play fighting” about 3 p.m. One brother had a sword and the other brother had a bathroom plunger.

One brother said he lunged with the plunger and it suctioned to the stomach of his brother, who was swinging the sword. In his efforts to remove his plunger from his brother’s stomach, he said he accidentally impaled himself on his brother’s sword.

He was treated for a cut that was not life-threatening at a hospital emergency room.

3. WTF were they thinking...

Get the kids foam bats instead.

4. I guess so.

Looks like it to me.

5. So how old are these nimrods?

From "share an apartment" it sounds like they are at least nominally adults...

9. Let's put it this way...there was a "sword" incident once in my apt.

I left the living room to go to the bathroom, come back and one of my friends is bleeding. Apparently, dumbfuck #1 picked up the sword by the hilt, dumbfuck #2, grabbed the sword by the top of the sheath. Dumbfuck #1 pulls, dumbfuck #2 drops the sheath quickly enough to not loose any fingers or anything. The age of the "boys" involved...



























33 and 35.

They both claimed they thought it was a fake sword.

:eyes:

10. You mean they didn't even wait for you to get back with the plunger?

Selfish jerks! :rofl:

Funny story - I can picture them waiting for you to leave so they can leap over and grab the shiny thing...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. Those impatient bastards!

Yeah, one of them I expected to be an idiot, but the other really let me down. I mean, he's a freaking liberal college professor. One would think that he'd be smart enough to not get involved with that, but no such luck. They even tried laying the blame on me.

"Why would you leave a sword out in the open like this?"

"Um...I very wrongly assumed that you two were mature enough to be left in a room with swords on display."

:shrug:

Thompson sub-machine gun - Feather Duster
Potato masher grenade - Roll of paper towels

19. don't forget the nunchuks and egg whisk ...

Always a problem at my house.


And we've already seen what happens with the "daisycutter" and the pretzel.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

20. Had Dumbfuck #1 not cut Dumbfuck #2 with a sword in my post above...

I'm sure nunchucku vs. egg whisk would have been the natural progression of their stupidity.

21. by the way, I brought a 48" replica medieval two-handed sword to work

... as part of my Halloween costume today. It was originally sharp, but I took the step of sanding the edge, just in case (it wasn't an Albion or anything expensive, so not a big sacrifice). I left the thing in our computer lab to go to a meeting, and I'm glad to report that "the boys" were very good and did not leave a trail of ruptured hard drives and smashed screens. (Then again, the secretaries were giving away a huge basket of candy, so their attention was elsewhere.)

13. It wasn't a sword - although we have those at home too

but several years ago, on Halloween as a matter of fact, I had dressed up in my SCA garb to go to work. Naturally I wore a knife on my belt. It was my smallish eating dagger thankfully. One of the attorneys asked if it were real and could he see it. I said yes it was real, it was sharp and then handed it to him hilt first. He reached over the hilt, past my hand and grabbed the blade. He was astonished to find that it was a) sharp, b) had cut him and c) there was blood on this hand. He got a bit pissy, but I reminded him that I had told him it was real, that it was sharp and that I had attempted to hand it to him in the approved fashion - hilt first. He shut up and went to work on stopping the bleeding (for the record it wasn't a deep cut or a long one, more of a nick).
