The cost of a piece of metal in your eye.

Funny story for yall... Years ago the mill company had a contratced optomitrist they would send us to for on the job eye injuries. So one day Duane ( aka Bucket ) left the job to go get a piece of metal taken from his eye. He rutrned to work with a small round bandaide on the right side of his nose. I said, "Damn Bucket, did the old fart go through your nose to get something out of your eye ?" He said, "The fecker went around behind me, set his mirror, then reached around and poked me with a tool !" Then he says "Oops, didn't realise it stuck out there so far." ( It was/is quite large )
So then Duane said to the doc, "Damn pops! I dont know if I want you feckin around in my eye or not".
Just before quitting time the bossman gathered us around and made an example of Duanes' experience, "One of you boys gonna leave here with a scratch on your knee and come back a girl. Be careful !".
