I just stuck my foot into a fan
I spun around in the bed to turn off an alarm clock and stuck my foot into the fan next to the bed. At first I thought I might have broken 2 toes but now I think they are just bruised and sore as hell.

How can that happen you may ask? - I removed the protective grid from the fan a couple of weeks ago in order to clean it and never got around to putting it back on. Now I wish I'd taken a few minutes to do so. My wife thinks it's funny.

4. My wife is always looking for examples of why not finishing something can be bad.
But how can I not tell her about this?

5. Just use it as an example
whenever she points out something you didn't finish just tell her "at least I'm not as dumb as the guy who stuck his foot in a fan".

7. Yeah, but she knows I really am that dumb.
I can't believe I still have 20 digits, 4 limbs and 3 eyes.

6. Your wife isn't the only one!
:P

Of course,since you were incapacitated in the course of a household task, it's your wife's responsibility to bring you breakfast in bed until your toes heal...

8. She takes a different view
and instead reminded me I agreed to go camping and hike a 5-mile trail today. She says "a little limping won't hurt anyone". Well, not her anyway.

10. Maybe I can get some sympathy
If I exaggerate my limp and then ask her to carry my gear. I doubt it will work but it's worth a try.

11. I'm glad your foot is okay,
But your wife would be right to laugh and tell you you're a bit of an idiot. :P

Please be a bit more careful, and a bit more thorough, in the future.

12. Did you join the fan club?
Sorry about your toes, did you call a toe-truck?
