Had a rough 3 week span back in the summer 1972 when in high school. Its June. Had to take the 67 chevy my dad gave me for school to the trans shop for a rebuild. Went to pick it up when it was done. On the way home I was involved in a 5 car and 1 dump truck accident. Of course I was pinned into my steering wheel and the doors were buckled. The car was totaled. The firemen had to use the jaws to get me out of the car. Once out they asked if I was ok. I said yes just a little dizzy. He lets go of me and I fall to the ground a break my nose on the stupid cement. Now I have no car and a broken nose.
Have a summer job at this time chrome plating for a small shop. My buddy takes me to work. 4 days after the car accident, an industrial furnace blows up knocking my buddy and myself into a cinder block wall. The fireball burnt off all of our hair on our heads and our eye brows and my mustache. Great....right. Now I have no car, a broken nose and no facial or head hair.
Week 2 - My parents get ready to go on vacation for 2 weeks out to Yellowstone Park. They asked if I will be ok why they're gone. C'mon, what else could happen, I'll be ok. They leave. Decided to go out bike riding with a friend. While riding, a lady runs a stop sign and takes the both of us out. Oh, it's also the same buddy who was with me when the furnace blew up. We both had to get some sticthes and both our bikes are mangled.
Now I have no car, no bike, broken nose, stiches, no head or facial hair. So what else could go wrong you all ask......
On weekend 2 decided to finish painting the basement that my dad started on. Can't go anywhere since I have no transportation. While painting, standing on the ladder and turned to see where the dog was, my elbow hit the open paint can of barn red paint onto the stupid dog laying next to the ladder. By the way, she was a German Shepard. The neighbor was nice enough to help me take her to the vet to get her cleaned up. The vet had to basically shave the dog's fur off cause back then paint was oil based. So when the parents finally got home all they could do was chuckle. That was my Rough Week or 2 weeks.

That's some nice shootin', Oldbee! The only way I'm getting 24 bullseyes is with the old Remington pump.

Lol, the bullseye is .250”; not much bigger than a .22rimfire hole. 36X Weaver scope makes that center real big. And I was down the list from the winner.

I'm actually both ways. (yeh I heard it) Hockey I'm left, baseball can swing both ways, usually throw right....oh well
Damn, that's one story for the record books!
By the way, I don't know if anyone else here knows or can confirm it, but I believe that the "Jaws Of Life" was invented by and made by Chrysler Corporation way back in the 70's. I recall that because I worked at a Dodge Truck Dealer back then and read in local papers that Chrysler was donating a bunch of them to rescue squads and such in the area. So, unless I am really sinking into total senility, you were saved from a Chevy by a Chrysler product! Therefore, you may thank the Pentastar People for your timely extraction!

Oh well, I stand corrected, unless of course Chrysler just "bought" a bunch of them and gave them away for good public relations and I just misunderstood; or the version I heard was "twisted"! Unless of course, the patent expired and the Mopar folks did something to "slightly" modifiy it so their name would be associated with it. Either way, I could use one at this time to open the blood flow to my brain to enhance the level of "bullshit" that I can extrude!
My apologies to those I may have offended and by doing so, tarnished my own memories!
