I cannot tell you how many times I stared at my digits, pondering which one to pierce with a nail gun before slipping into blissful slumber.

I shall now cross that plan off the list.

Just wondering, do you have any experience with crushing your toes under a truck tire? That might be a more effective pre-sleep routine.

Seriously, I hope Tylenol is taking the edge off that for you.

Was building roof trusses... finger was usually on the trigger as the nails were quickly shot in the corners of each plate. I was stepping over the rig to reach another plate and swung my ankle in to the gun. One of my coworkers grabbed a pair of plyers but the foreman stopped him. Took me to ER and the doc pulled it out with a pair of plyers.
