The Clumsy Carpenter

Larry, the clumsy carpenter, was using his table saw and leaned in close to check he was following the line he had marked on the plank.

Zsbtt! His left ear gets neatly severed, tumbles through the air, and lands in the pile of sawdust.

Screaming in pain and panic, Larry drops to the ground, one hand pressed against his head and the other sifting through the sawdust.

Joe, hearing the commotion, races over to help. When Larry tells him what happened Joe starts searching too.

Suddenly Joe pulls a bloody left ear from the sawdust, "Is this it Larry?", he asks.

Larry takes a look and then goes back to searching.

"Nah, mine had a pencil behind it."
