cumquat may's post below reminded me of this one
My friend's dad decided that it was time to lay a new drive on the front of their house, but the old drive needed breaking up and removing first, so he put on his work trousers and with all the kids sitting around watching he manfully strode out, hefted his pickaxe, swung it behind his head and...


...froze. And then staggered a bit. And then said, in a pained voice, "Call an ambulance, I think the pickaxe is stuck in the back of my head."

On a sensible web site a person may enquire to find out if the chap was okay.
Fuck that.

I sure he would have been fine.
Given that it didn't actually happen.

Oh he's fine
The whole family are the most accident-prone bunch I think I've ever encountered - my friend managed to break his nose three times in two weeks once, one time by walking into a fence, while his younger brother managed to cut his thumb off with a bandsaw.
