For me it's driving while under the influence. If you couldn't tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can't fathom. I've only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

Have a coworker who taught me all he knows bout woodworking.

Have heard way too many times "X is for pussies". Saw guards, riving knives, splitters. "Real men use Radial Arm Saws."

Is that why you lost function in 3 of your fingers? To prove you are a real man? Well slap my ass, and call me Sally because I like having all my fingers.

Carpenter here. I used to get called a pussy by the old dudes all the time. Maybe Jethro, but I've been doing this as long as you have and I have all my fingers still and you can only count to 8 if you take off a shoe.

you can only count to 8 if you take off a shoe.

lol I love this. I wonder if they lost 7 fingers, or some combination of fingers and toes.

[–] oascany@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think it means they lost 3 or more fingers

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

But if they took off a shoe with 3 missing fingers they could count to 12! 😛
