See, I never shot myself in the brain with a nail gun. Apparently the dude felt some pain and thought it was just because the backlash popped him in the face, maybe? I don’t know.

So I should begin by acknowledging that I have no first-hand experience on the subject of shooting yourself in the brain with a nail gun. I suppose you could say I am speaking from a position of almost perfect ignorance. So this is not, by the grace of the gods, an informed observation. Of course, I’m not one to let facts or credibility get in the way of a strongly felt opinion, right?

So, you know, it just seems to me like if you’d pumped a four-inch nail into your skull, it’s the sort of thing you might, you know, notice. But listen to this:

“This is the second one we’ve seen in this hospital where the person was injured by the nail gun and didn’t actually realize the nail had been imbedded in their skull,” neurosurgeon Sean Markey told KUSA-TV in Denver.

Sumbitch. Shows you what my simple country butt knows, huh?
