I did this on a gland nut but was not laughing when done.  I was almost
crying then nearly fainted.  When my breaker bar broke, I caught my knuckle
on on something and removed my little fingernail.  Not just bent back, but
entirely riped out along with a good patch of skin. This was last August
and it still hasn't healed completely

Bob Hoover had a good injury story a few weeks ago--any others?
