So, there I was, removing some polycarb sheeting from an angle iron
frame, just above head height. Nuts & bolts had been used, which
were rusted to buggery.
Out came the trusty angle grinder. First bolt, heated to red hot
status due to the attentions of the angle grinder, parted company
from the frame.
With incredible accuracy it went right down the front of my bib &
brace type overalls. Due to a design fault with the overalls (and
nothing to do with my fondness for beer) it lodged roughly between
pectorals & abdomen - a sharp burning sensation caused me to dance
about, flapping at my overalls in a demented manor.
The relief at the red hot metallic object's movement was immediately
replaced by the fear about where it would next stop. This resulted in
me dancing about like a maniac grasping the crotch of said overalls.
Successfully avoiding the wedding tackle, the still very hot bolt
managed to travel down my right leg finally lodging itself in the top
of my sock. This involved me hopping about like a demented rabbit
until it finally fell out.
The woman I was working for nearly wet herself laughing.
I might give up using angle grinders.............

What ever you do, do not give them up. They can provide endless hours
of fun, for us readers :-)

ps How did you end up getting it down your sock? Slack elastic?
