Have you been visited by the forces of Karma, or watched it happen to other people?
Thanks to Pooflake for the suggestion

Not quite irony...We have a friend who seems able to effect karma or probability. Essentially it works whenever he utters "I don't think that's a very good idea", the effect he has is that somebody gets injured quite badly (normally a paticularly stupid mutual friend.)
Examples as follow:
Stupid friend (SF) manages to steal an unspent shotgun cartridge from his work (a clay pigeon shoot), then sat on his drive with a potatoe peeler and a brick in order to set it off.... the words were uttered... the cartrige went off, and surgery was required to remove a firing pin from his hand (made a mess out of the potato peeler too).
Stupid friend was messing around with an air rifle that had a disabled (read: fucked) safety and no trigger guard... the words were uttered... and SF's left kneecap got shattered.
Stupid Friend... hang on.
I'm noticing a pattern....

Your friend has foresightand common sense.
Darwin award coming up soon for your other mate with the shotgun cartridge.

Shotgun cartridges don't have firing pinsand I would be surprised if an air rifle was capable of shattering someones kneecap unless they suffered from brittle bones.

^^^I would guess he meant primer rather than firing pin.
Also I have seen air rifles with replaced springs that could do an awful lot of damage, but I agree with you, shattering a kneecap with a pellet is a wee bit far fetched.

My spelling sucks.......can't help my workplace using IE (god bless firefox and it's spell-checker).
I was always told "firing pin" and not I'm admittedly not familiar with the correct terminology, so primer may be correct.
As for the Air Rifle incident, I believe the kneecap was previously damaged in a fight with his brother that ended when being cracked repeatedly across the knee.
Considering the guy once checked if his Webley Tempest was loaded or not by pulling the trigger at his own hand, I think that the Darwin awards may be where he will end up.
