Ouch; now its broken in.
Another rule is never stuff a cocked revolver down into the front of your pants. I once saw the red puddle it leaves.

I think most mechanics have a few stories to relate to on this subject. I learned a long time ago (easy on the old farts jokes please)to not carry things in the rear pockets, but we seem to just slip up once in a while. Good reminder.

Another classic move is to sit down on nice cloth seats with a cheap ink pen in your back pocket that breaks immediately upon sitting on it but doesn't make a noise so you don't notice until you get up and see a 3 inch circle of half dried ink. Oops is that just me?

I used to work in a papermill, carried a fixed blade utility knife in a pouch on my hip...one nightshift, jumped on the forklift, knife fell out and sliced up the back of my leg pretty good. nice, real nice...
Brothers buddy did the pen thing - jumped in the companys diesel excursion and busted a pen all over the leather seats of his bosses new $55k personal rig.....

I have another one for you guys. I had just bought a brand spankin new 1997 chevy silverado ext. cab and had less than 50 miles on the clock. Only had it for 3 days and I was puffing on a cigar with my clipboard on the seat. Some meathead pulled out in front of me and I had to stand on the brakes. My clipboard went sliding off of the seat... so I instinctively reach out really quick to grab it and knocked the cherry off of my cigar which busted into about 2 dozen pieces and burned little holes all over my seat and carpet. DOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Put a couple of your wrenches in her purse so at least you have something of yours in there.
When she asks you to hold her purse, you just have to say "hold this" to her...
