quote:

Two-time major winner Greg Norman said he was "damaged" but "lucky" to still have a left hand after a chainsaw accident on Saturday.

The 59-year-old Australian posted a picture of himself on Twitter and Instagram on Saturday night as he recovered in a hospital bed in the United States.

"Working with a chainsaw ALWAYS be respectful of the unexpected," he wrote. "I was one lucky man today. Damaged, but not down & out. Still have left hand."

I heard the saw took off his thumb. He looked down at his remaining fingers and yelled "FOUR!"

He's a rich business man. He should be paying someone to use chainsaws.

Some people actually like to do a little manual labor every now and then.

From the article:

quote:

He posted a picture last week of himself trimming a small tree, along with the message: "Time to trim the sea grapes today. Never ask someone to do something that you can do yourself. Love to work!"


Oops! Sometimes it's best to admit that there are things you can't/shouldn't do yourself.

holy self incrimination, they might fine him for trimming SEA Grapes down there, and heaven forbid if he admitted to touching his mangroves, he'd get old Sparky!

Chainsaws and other power equipment are fun. Those small engines are really cool. But anything that can rip through something as hard as a tree deserves unwavering respect.

Plus doesn't he have insurance for such things?

I was sort of hoping it was a shark attack. At least the irony would have been a funny silver lining.
