Bloody carrots.
Give you good eyesight but you won't have any fingers left.
Completely unrelated but that totally made me think of a Terry Pratchett quote: "Nanny Ogg's Famous Carrot and Oyster Pie (Carrots so's you can see in the dark, and oysters so's you've got something to look at)" lol
Back to the thread; I've got a couple here that you guys made me remember. You made me, I didn't want to lmao...
When I was a kid I was grilling hot crossed buns. I was getting impatient and thought that the grill wasn't heating because it wasn't red... so I touched it. Cooked a dent in my finger.
Having worked as a waitress for quite a few years there's a few, not so painful, but embarassing tales as well;
I had a habit of catching things that were falling off the workbench with my hip. One day when I was baking muffins an egg rolled off and I slammed my hip into the bench to catch it. Had egg all down my leg for the rest of the day...
Spilled a bit of juice in the chiller and forgot to clean it up. As I was running hors d'oeuvres in to store for that night I skidded across the whole thing and soccer-tackled an entire 10L bucket of pumpkin soup... didn't drop the hors d'oeurves though
On a trial day (my FIRST DAY) in years I loaded a tray with long, thin glasses of bright orange, thick organic juice thinking "I used to carry trays like this all the time, I'll be right..." and ignoring little warning bells in my head. Went out to serve them to a table of around 12 ladies (most of them dressed in white, go figure) and overbalanced. They headed away from the table, I overcorrected and like a slow-motion trainwreck most of the juice tipped over the two ladies I was standing behind. I still got the job, maybe I was the only one who applied...?
