First off, the obvious answer... riding motorcycles. I'm in no danger whatsoever but no one else should ever do it. Second, at work, I have to wrap people's hands with adhesive tape that refuses to be cut by scissors and thus I am given the acute pleasure of watching their eyes nearly pop out of their heads when I pull out my pocket knife and make quick swiss cheese of their hand wraps. I, of course, throw in the "don't worry I've only cut a few people".
The reality of a severe finger cut and the effect on one’s life while it heals are traumatic at best. If you haven’t sliced your finger, you don’t know what a terrible pain it is so you can proceed without overdue caution! We, who have sliced the hell out of ourselves be it a knife or broken glass will continue to be brave and forge on hoping to avoid digit assault!
The weirdest thing is watching a lefty chop vegetables. I can’t watch my husband use a knife and its doubly hard watching you. It’s terrifying. Like trying to slice in a mirror. Eeeeek! I will never get used to it.
Okay, first, it's another great one! Next, I had to look up German Suplex and I just did and I am very grateful you didn't try it on me, because, yes, it looks very dangerous. Although I guess we could try practicing one with a bunch of pillows on the floor and then scare the hell out of your mom. Could be fun. Or really stupid. Speaking of which, I once cut my thumb slicing a bagel at a table reading of a pilot we were doing for CBS and had to go to the emergency room, but I couldn't go until after the reading and AFTER brutal notes from the network during which I was holding the bleeding thumb above my head wrapped in white paper towel like a German soldier (as opposed to a German suplex) surrendering to the Allies. That was a really fun day.
My husband has the same reaction with me...Well, not with knives because he does all the cooking. But with open scissors cutting into Amazon boxes. (Maybe it's because I've sliced my fingers twice during the pandemic.)
I cringed reading this week's "Will's Dumb Brain." Thank you for reminding me of the time Uncle Dave sliced his hand cutting a bagel and we had to rush him to the emergency room at Chicago's (inner city) Cook County Hospital. Bleeding profusely through one towel after another, Uncle Dave was upstaged by the guy with a bullet hole in his head. What a nightmare for everyone! Thanks for the memories!

Forgot to mention, driving as a passenger can be a freakout, especially on the 110. But really, any freeway.
ESPECIALLY THE 110

Watching Jackie use her kitchen mandolin is like watching a high wire act. Each pass gives me chills!
