You Don't Know What You've Got Til it Almost Gets Chopped Off by Flying Wood.

PigHunter has this "cabinet" that he's been working on for his "tools" in the garage. He's been building this "cabinet" for about a year. I have come to believe this is something he does to get out of having to do any kind of housework ("I can't help with the laundry because I'm building my cabinet! For my tools! So I have room to do things in the garage, like, build imaginary cabinets!")

I used to get pissed off about his stupid cabinet. Especially when he'd be like "I'm going to plant grass this weekend!" And hours would go by and grass wasn't planted because he'd wasted hours in the garage "cutting wood" for his "cabinet." But, I've come to accept the "cabinet" for what it really is.

His escape.

I have the computer. He has "the cabinet." We're even.

Last Friday night, he was in the garage working on "the cabinet" for most of the night. Just before 8, I heard him walk into the house. He walked into the kitchen and stood there. He looked a little pale, so I was all "You okay?" And he was all "yeah, I'm fine."

So I dropped it.

Later that night, we were sitting on the couch and he turns to me and says "Honey, please don't freak out. But..."

Which, of course, makes me want to FREAKTHEFUCKOUTBECAUSEOHMYGODWHATTHEHELL..WHAT?

"I have to tell you what just happened to me in the garage."

I was scared because any time he says "please don't freak out" it's totally something that warrants me freaking out (Example: "Honey, please don't freak out... but I got laid off today!")

He continued...

"While I was cutting a piece of wood, a 4 inch piece got caught in the blade, swung around (or something like that) and came flying at me at a very high rate of speed. And it hit me RIGHT HERE. (As he points VERY CLOSE to his ManHood.)

My reaction went a little something like this:

"What? Where? Is it okay? Are YOU okay? Did you damage it? CAN YOU STILL GET IT UP HERE LET ME SEE, LET ME TOUCH IT AND SEE IF YOU CAN STILL GET IT UP."

"Baby!" He said, while protecting his junk because I was trying to grab it and make it all stiff. "It didn't actually hit me there. It missed by an inch or two. It hit just above that right here by my (heheheeehe totally awkward but am going to say it) pubes."

"Oh my God. Can I see it? Is there a bruise? Are you sure your dick still works? Because, like, isn't there some wiring up in there that is vital to the erection process that could have been damaged and OH MY GOD SHOW ME YOU CAN STILL GET IT UP RIGHT NOW PLEASE."

He proceeded to tell me that when it hit him, it knocked the wind out of him. He also wasn't sure exactly where it had hit him because he was in so much pain. He said he walked to the corner of the garage, holding himself, worrying if he had just done something "really bad." After he was able to compose himself, he undid his pants to assess the damage. To his relief, there was no damage to The Goods. Just a huge bruise a couple of inches ABOVE The Goods. He said he was fine, but promised to go see the doctor if the pain was worse in the morning.

I can't tell you how many times I wanted to reach over that night in bed and "test it." Just, you know, give it a little rub, or maybe a little, [small voice]blow[/small voice] I resisted, for fear of hurting him or damaging things that could have possibly been broken.

The next day, we walked around acting as if he had almost lost his LIFE. We were traumatized at the idea that he came THIS CLOSE to seriously damaging his ManHood and "would I have left him if he had lost it?" Nothing like a Near Dick Loss Experience to make you appreciate that Piece O'Man Meat like you did back when you were 19 and worshiping it on a daily, if not every other hourly basis.

Posted by: Marcie at February 3, 2009 4:53 AM

Thank you for this...I have needed a good laugh for awhile now and this hit the spot. You are effortlessly funny.

Posted by: Brandi at February 3, 2009 5:13 AM

I hardly ever comment but I then leave a dumb comment and what do you know...not only is it first it but has a typo! ARGH!! What I should have said is that I love you and your blog, never miss checking in for new posts and most importantly, I'm glad your husband was OK!

Posted by: Norma at February 3, 2009 5:24 AM

OMFG *dying!!*

*wiping tears away*

I fuckin love you. That was perfection!!!

Is it a little early to run screaming "SHE'S BAAAAAAACK!!"?

(I can't wait for you to post daily again, I'm here rooting you on! You can do it! You HAVE to do it!)

Posted by: sam {temptingmama} at February 3, 2009 5:39 AM

hahaha you two are hilarious and awesome. Seriously, you're my internet role-models for a perfect marriage :)

Posted by: Lyndsey at February 3, 2009 5:40 AM

oh. my. god. Near Dick Loss Experience. that is the funniest thing I've read in a LONG time. The wood almost Bobbitted him! SELF-DESTRUCTIVE WOOD.

You are too funny. What a great pair.

Posted by: Carolyn at February 3, 2009 6:13 AM

Lol! Glad there was a silver lining to near wiener injury.

Posted by: anne nahm at February 3, 2009 6:27 AM

From now on while working on "the cabinet" he must wear safety goggle and a cod piece at all times.

Posted by: Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah at February 3, 2009 6:37 AM

Oh, yeah, Sarah has the right idea. A cod piece.

Posted by: patois at February 3, 2009 6:58 AM

It is totally wrong to make me laugh so hard at this near tragedy.

Go! Test!

Posted by: Mom101 at February 3, 2009 7:16 AM

I cannot blame you for being terrified at the thought of that tragedy. Maybe he needs to wear an athletic supporter now when working out in the garage. Totally cracked me up!

Posted by: amy at February 3, 2009 7:21 AM

I am *weeping* from laughing so hard. So glad Pighunter's okay!

Posted by: metalia at February 3, 2009 7:25 AM

Good LORD. That is all.

Posted by: The Redheaded Lefty at February 3, 2009 7:35 AM

OMG, I'm so sorry but I laughed hysterically. My kids kept asking what was so funny. At least he's okay, right?

Posted by: FishyGirl Author Profile Page at February 3, 2009 7:54 AM

It sounds weird to say it, but here goes:

"I'm glad your husband's junk is in one piece."

Wouldn't that be a great card to get in the mail?

Posted by: Velma at February 3, 2009 8:01 AM

Do they make Hallmark cards for that? So sorry about your NDLE, glad you can still get it up.

Posted by: lettergirl at February 3, 2009 8:31 AM

You said blow.
Heh!
BLOW.
B-L-O-W!

I love you for that. Now that the family has found my blog, I will never probably write that word in my blog. Self-censorship is a bitch. I'll keep working on it though.

In other news though reporting the truth is okayon da blog such as my son offering to define the word "douche" to his mother. So effing helpful 12 year old boys are.

Posted by: Scout's Honor at February 3, 2009 8:46 AM

So he used #5 in the Maxim's "How To Get Sex From Your Woman Any Time You Want." Awesome.

I would have used #7 but to each his own.

Posted by: Chris at February 3, 2009 9:14 AM

Oh man, I have never laughed so hard.

Posted by: Corrie at February 3, 2009 10:16 AM

hahaha! bless his... heart.

Posted by: christine Gill at February 3, 2009 11:03 AM

OMG LMAO!!! I mean [straight face] I'm so sorry for your 'almost' loss.

Posted by: Chris at February 3, 2009 11:24 AM

You're back and you have been sorely missed.

Glad PigHunter's junk is okay.

Posted by: Tammy at February 3, 2009 11:25 AM

"CAN YOU STILL GET IT UP HERE LET ME SEE, LET ME TOUCH IT AND SEE IF YOU CAN STILL GET IT UP." LMAO at that line.

Posted by: Nina at February 3, 2009 11:31 AM

Oh crap, it wasn't even my man's piece of meat and I'm thinking I should appreciate his more.

Posted by: Heather, Queen of Shake Shake at February 3, 2009 12:20 PM

BAH HA HA! You crack me up! I am glad the goods are still okay, because THAT is scary shit!

But still....LMAO.

Posted by: Laura Lohr at February 3, 2009 1:04 PM

Posted by: The Aitch at February 3, 2009 3:01 PM

You crack me up. That is the funniest story, especially for the first time I have been to your site. I had heard you blog was entertaining and it didn't disappoint. It is true, whenever a husband says, "Honey, don't freak out." It usually means it's something we should freak out about! Great story!!

Posted by: kalani at February 3, 2009 6:27 PM

Close call! With Valentines Day coming up, you should shop for the best athletic supporter money can buy to keep him safe. Maybe hockey players have some platinum-chainmail something? Or better yet, have PigHunter craft up something and you all can sell it based on his personal testimony. The infomercial will write itself!

Posted by: Deb on the Rocks at February 3, 2009 7:28 PM

Favorite part of this post-- all the "quotes" around the words that obviously would be air quotes with bent fingers in the air if you were saying them out loud.

Thanks goodness for saving the man "junque".

Posted by: Cindi B. at February 3, 2009 8:39 PM

SO glad you are back in force!

Posted by: AA at February 4, 2009 6:41 AM

Looked at another way, you came THIS close to having your story told in a Lifetime TV movie!

I can just see the re-enactment scene now- The slow motion wood flying in slow motion, the sad music, the look of horror on your husband's face... and later, your brave campaign on Capitol Hill, resulting in legislation requiring penis goggles in all workshops. I have a tear in my eye even now, just thinking about all the penises your almost-story ALMOST saved.

Posted by: Suburban Turmoil at February 4, 2009 9:12 AM

You know...
I have been told I am funny ( and I THINK it was a compliment ) but seriously sometimes when I read your blog.. I feel like I should strap on a pair of DEPENDS... I have come THIS close to pissing my self with laughter...

You made my day with that story.. Hope his wood is good...

Posted by: Marcy at February 4, 2009 1:11 PM

Looks like we're coming back at the same time! Love this post. Miss you.

Posted by: Stefanie at February 4, 2009 7:02 PM

This has been a test of the Blow Job Broadcasting System.

Had this been an actual Blow Job, you would have known what to do.

We now return you to your regular blog. Thank you.

Posted by: ben at February 5, 2009 7:58 AM

I CANNOT. BELIEVE. YOU WROTE. THAT POST. Jesus fuck that was funny. Also? You have BALLS, girl.

Posted by: KTP at February 5, 2009 9:02 AM

This type of account is every man's worst nightmare. At least it didn't turn out as bad as it could have.

Posted by: Lori at February 8, 2009 8:15 PM

This post still makes me laugh out loud.

    About Y
    My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 16 year old son, a 12 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
