the wife said, "i don't think you should be doing that.", which i ignored.

all at once the trunk of the tree broke about 18feet up, and the top swung down and cracked me on the side of the head, dislocating my jaw and knocking me senseless.

so, the girls took me to the emergency room, where my jaw was put back into the socket, and 28 stitches placed into the side of my head.

i've never lived it down.
