Have YOU ever "bumped your head" so hard in a car that you needed a Band-Aid?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

I'm the biggest klutz in the universe, and I've never hit my head so hard that I needed a Band-Aid. I don't buy it.

1. They tried to tell us Benazir Bhutto died that way...

2. I imagine I would after having several growths removed from my

scalp..... No way am I believing he didn't have a little more "skin scalping" for his ongoing fight against skin cancer.

[NightWatcher]

3. nor have I passed out near death choking on a pretzel

[smokey nj]

5. Fucking Heimlich maneuver.

[AlCzervik]

7. hehe

[zeos3]

25. Passed out because of a pretzel...?

Or a failed attempt at auto-erotic asphyxiation over a map of the middle east painted red white and blue?

[AlCzervik]

4. no but then again i've been in a car with a sharp roof.

maybe his has some spikes or something? :D

[Clovis Sangrail]

6. what do you *think* happened?

I've got more than 1 scar on my head from accidentally bashing it.

[noamnety]

8. I don't care so much about the status of McCain's bandaids.

I am more concerned about the effects his policies will have on everyone else's health care.

[madaboutharry]

9. That is very strange.

I wonder if there is footage of him getting in and out of vehicles in Canada that could verify this. It seems a bit odd. I would also wonder if the bandages are near each other or not.

[Captain Angry]

10. Oh yeah.

I was exiting a pickup truck. Due to the height of the truck, the doors are in a different place when open than a car. So I popped out and nearly knocked myself silly on the corner of the door. It was open as wide as that truck would let it open, and I didn't adjust. I was probably talking when I did it.

There's so much wrong with McCain, I don't know what you're looking for here, but I think we have plenty of stuff to call him on without wondering about a band-aid.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. Skin cancer, that is what we are looking for

not a minor thing for a Presnit candidate

That said, I did bump myself hard coming out of an Ambulance many years ago... I think the bandaid on forehead was more to keep it from dripping on patient though... and a reminder, this is why you wear a helmet

[supernova]

11. Split my eye open on a car door

I was three and running for the car door. I was and am a stragler, always bringing up the rear. My aunt had taken me shopping and we had to get home before my parents got back.

I ran to catch up with her and just as I arrived at the car, she opened the door. I smacked my forehead on the outside edge of the door and yes, split open my forehead just above my left eye. The scar is still there.

But, l I was three. I'm more graceful now. :D

[Gold Metal Flake]

12. Well, yes.

While working under the hood.

While working underneath the car.

While in the act of hitting a tree at speed.

Otherwise, no.

Then again, my skin is only 45 years old. It's not yet as thin as a drunk's apology (or a murdering chimp's lie).

[pt22]

13. Actually, yes...in my own car. I had some new seat covers put on and the seat was higher

than before. I banged my head on the roof trim. Not to defend McCain but this is hardly the stuff of major political discourse...

[spanone]

14. but i've never been 71 either

[bbinacan]

15. I have and it hurt like hell

It was raining very hard and I opened the door and tried to make a run for it. I moved too soon and caught the corner of the door with my head. Ouch.

[proud patriot]

16. My Grandpa did once

:shrug: not his head though

it was his hand and my car was a 67 bug

[uppityperson]

17. I gave myself a concussion getting into a van and not ducking down far enough.

[kcass1954]

18. Yes. I was getting into someone else's car - roof line way different

from mine. I was busy talking (there's a surprise - NOT!) and hit my brow. It was a weekend, and went to the ER the next day when it hadn't stopped bleeding. I got 5 fancy little stitches and a teeny-tiny barely-visible scar. It pays to go to the ER when there's a plastic surgeon already there.

[Crabby Appleton]

19. Yes, I have. nt

[lynne]

20. Yep, I've bumped my head until it bled getting out of a car -

- and my husband has, too. Hubby's hair is thinning and there's not a lot there to protect the scalp.

[Not Me]

21. Yes, in a pileup that wrecked my car.

My seat belt and airbags literally saved my life.

Seat belts and air bags...two more good things that Democrats enabled.

[norepubsin08]

22. Grampy McSame

Was either drunk or smacking his wife the lizard lady around when he did it!!!

[ColbertWatcher]

24. As you can see from this link...

...link, you can see how Admiral McCombover would have problems bumping his head on modern cars...

[Mind_your_head]

26. Ban car doors now! They're dangerous.

:sarcasm: of course.

Nope never @ banging my head on a car door that I needed a band-aid.

McLame's "explanation" is just blatantly stupid. An excuse that only the blatantly stupid will accept....but hey, as P.T. Barnum said, "there's a sucker born every minute".

[symbolman]

27. Whats next?

"I was picking my nose and somebody hit me in the elbow.."

"I cut myself shaving.."

"My dog ate my scalp.. He loves McCain Skin Chips!" :)

[Contrary1]

28. I got a black eye from a toilet seat once. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. won't ask...

but there are some comical (after the fact) toilet seat related EMS calls

[Codeine]

30. Much as I can't stand McSame

I've busted my scalp open more than once on various parts of many cars. It's a function of clumsiness, baldness, and - in McSame's case - the thinner skin of older adults.

[old mark]

31. I hit my head hard enough for a concussion -

I actually "saw stars" like in a cartoon- but it didn't require a bandaid, didn't even break the skin.
I think McCain has limited mobility and is a bit awkward moving aound, possibly from his POW experiences.

[annabanana]

32. Something ELSE weird about that....

When I watched the conference "live".. the bandaids were on the TOP of his head.. two small ones..

When they talked about them later, the network highlighted something just over his left eyebrow, which is a more logical place for a "head bump" than right on the top of the head.

[robcon]

33. When I was a kid I bumped my head several times (before seatbelts)

I was forbidden to ride in the front seat after about the third time.

[Vinca]

34. Drunk or sober? nt

[mwb970]

35. I don't believe anything mcSame says.

If he says he "bumped his head on a car" then the one thing I know for sure is that he didn't. Odds are he'll flip-flop on the question by the end of the week anyway.

All of the Old Man's statements seem to be provisional, like they hold until he reverses himself and then they become inoperative (at least until he flips back again).

What a typical Republican loser this guy is. By the way, in addition to being old, Gramps seems to be a bit on the short side. I saw him yesterday with some normal people and he looked like he was standing in a hole. He had to look waaay up at everyone the way a child does. (It reminded me of the "bush hug" photo, where he also looks like a little boy.)

Doesn't the taller guy always win the presidency? Of course, "Obama" does end with a vowel, and I hear that's Bad.
