breaking your nose hurts something @#%^ing awful
Oh, yes- definately an unpleasant feeling.
The one that *really* tickled happened about 5 years ago.
I, as I said in my last post, played rugby when I was younger. I've always been a big bugger; 20 stones and 6'5" ( think that's about 260lbs in Yankee money). Well, I was the 'baby' of the pack; lightest by a good two stone, and shortest by about half an inch.
So, training session underway and I tackle our tight-head prop. So, 42 stones (580lbs) closing at full tilt. I broke 4 of his ribs and dislocated his shoulder. I end up with a crushed vertabrae, 3 prolapsed discs and a very nice ambulance crew who kept the morphine flowing quite freely :)
Moral of the story? Play tabletennis or pool- it's an awful lot safer:)
Ttfn,
Jon
P.S I *was* 6'5"- thanks to the whole crushing thing I got shorter by an inch; as any man will tell you, losing an inch is not a good thing :)
