really shouldn't laugh, I had a brad catch a knot and in bed through

I HATE it when that happens. Then you have to explain to everyone at the

Patriarch,
who had just such an incident with a Porter Cable 2" 18 ga last summer, and
had to wear the bandage for just a week or so. I was very lucky there was
no permanent damage.
