Got a gash above my eyebrow from my scope...what to tell co-workers?

[DeepSouth]

I was once unrolling a new spool of barbed wire and it slipped loose and gave me an very similar cut to a scope kiss, I knew no one would believe me.
So, maybe try the truth.

I try to never lie about things. At the same time I am great at figuring ways to say things without lying, but also keeping my secrets.

Just say you were looking through a telescope and it came back and hit you in the eye.

Anybody who has worked with barbed wire would have believed you. That stuff is ridiculous.

Years ago one of the guys I worked with,he was Irish, asked if his brother could come to the range with us. He was visiting and he was a cop. I told him no problem. Myself and a bunch of us headed to the range and once there we unpacked the hardware. My buddy's brother hadn't fired a gun in his life AFAIK.so my buddy picks my Rem 700 in 7mm Rem mag for him to shoot. No admitedly I'm not watching what's going on with these 2,they were both given basic firearms safety and the like. while I was shooting the 2 brothers sit down and prepare to shoot,now my buddy had fired my 700 before and was explaining to his brother how to use the rifle how to aim it and so on. After about 10 mins I finally hear a "BOOM" and a very loud "HELP". The brother was on the ground bleeding like a stuck pig,he got to close to the scope and it cut a very nice half circle just above the eyebrow. We did mange to stop the bleeding and no trip to the ER was needed but damn after that I was the one that set up for people that never fire a rifle before. I do remember that my buddy's brother called him every name in the book and several I never heard before.

Feign ignorance.... if you don't acknowledge it, it doesn't exist.

"What happened to your face?"

"Huh? I don't know what you're talking about."

"That cut on your forehead..."

"What cut?"

continue this until they walk away bewildered.

Or simply tell them the truth.

 

[browneu]

Yep tell them the truth. You can't trust them later if you can't tell them now. Some of them may surprise you and have firearms too.

However if you must lie you could tell them you were playing rugby and got the cut hitting your head on the car door to go home.

It was "Gaucho" wasn't it? (it just seems more ornery than most)

At first I just chuckled when I looked up and saw two sailors playing with a chicken and a slinky on the fire escape...

Before starting a bar conversation with the age old Ginger verses MayAnn debate, make sure that you aren't talking to Ginger's grandson.

Alien abduction: So, at first I was relieved when the little one told the big one to stick it in his 'eyehole'...

 

[xwray]

Call it by its proper name...a Weatherby Kiss...it will satisfy those who know what it is and confuse those that don't.

 

[Mike1234567]

Is this abduction what caused your waders to leak?

 

[Ramman911]

"Dear Penthouse Forum, I never thought this stuff happened until it happened to me........."

Make it a good story

 

[youngda9]

Tell them that you looked at a gun the wrong way and look what it did to you. Tell them you were lucky that the gun didn't decide to kill you.

It's true and will get them thinking.

This is THR...you should tell the truth man.

You were viewing a heavenly body through your telescope, then her husband saw you at the window!

 

[Toaster]

Uh... tell the truth or tell them it's none of their business. The world neds less liars and far fewer gossipy people.

Tell your coworkers you cracked wise to your wife.

 

[gym]

Yea you should see the other guy

 

[tlatoani]

Surprisingly most people have not asked. Go figure.

 

[Ed4032]

Tell your coworkers you cracked wise to your wife.

I smarted off to my wife once and did not see her for a week.

After a week the swelling reduced enough that I could see just a little.

 

[buck460XVR]

If you're afraid to tell 'em you did it while shooting, just tell 'em you cut it on your boyfriend's belt buckle.

 

[DataMonkey]

No stitches? Heck, it just kissed you. Welcome to the club.


Note: after about 25 years you can hardly see the scar.
