Yoshi's story: Ow my finger

Soooo I was wrenching on a car in the rain not 10 minutes ago and my finger was throbbing a bit. I think I hit it on something but I don't remember. Manly men work THROUGH the pain. Thus I ignored it (IE I am a manly man). Here is a visual of my hand under normal car working situations:



Anyway, I was like "Man my finger is throbbing. Don't be a pussy. It's only 40F outside in the rain and I need to get ish done!". Then I notice the back of my hand. It looked like this:



"Hmm" I thought to myself. "Did I cut the back of my hand?". I pulled up the glove slightly. To my dismay (actually I was kind of amused at this point) my hand looked like this:



and like this:



I decided washing it off was a good idea:



I also decided, my finger was gushing. The picture below is less than 1 second after taking my finger away from running water.



I also messed up my kitchen a bit...



Somehow I nicked an artery or something? I held a paper towel to it for a while then put some gos on it with some bandaids. Seems to have stopped bleeding. I'm annoyed though. Now theres an unfinished car in my driveway and it needs to get done by tomorrow. Boo...

*sigh* at least I have some cool pictures out of it right?

Well I don't bake, and I don't have any cookies, and I don't feel like spending money, so....

Here's a picture:

Meh, you should have left the gloves on and let the blood clot there instead of with gloves.

So, when you peeled the glove off to throw it away in that trashcan and it snapped off your hand giving that nice splatter pattern, what did we learn?

Need some luminol to help with cleanup?
