A post by drewnogal reminded me of an incident some years ago.

A carpenter was doing some work in my house when he shouted out
"Wolfie. Do you have a plaster?"

I ran to see what was the problem and he had shaved his knee
with an electric plane!
Ouch.
My partner drove him to hospital where he received 8 stitches
while I drove his van back to his missus and explained what had
happened.

I guess he was calling for a very large plaster!

The guy must have been "plastered" to try shaving his knee with anything. πŸ€”

This reminds me of when I had an idea of getting a chainsaw for cutting my logs - then I discovered the word kickback ... 😲 !

I chose life.

I take it a plaster is a bandage?

Heh, yes, a chainsaw, even the little ones, aren't the best tool for fine work, either. I found that out the hard way, too.

No. Not a bandage.
I think Americans may call it a band-aid.

I wouldn't call it art, exactly. 😞

I've seen some pretty good chainsaw art. Impressive what some people can do with a chainsaw.

I answered the correct post, she/he said they wouldn't call it art. Thanks for your 2 cents worth though. πŸ˜‰
