Oh, I've got a few... But the one that comes to mind the most is this cacophony:
I was pulling the radar mounting bracket off of an older John Deere tractor - while I was underneath it on a creeper. I was using a standard wrench instead of a metric, and it slipped off (a bit loose), and popped me in the face. I instinctively jumped a bit and cracked my head on the underside of the frame. So, laying back down, I decided to just push off on the floor with my feet to kick the creeper out from under the tractor. Managed to tangle my hair up in the rollers of the creeper... Yowch. I also snagged my shoulder on a bolt attempting to maneuver myself out of that mess... It was just a really bad day. :oops:

I know somebody who got popped in the face by the crankshaft on their old WD... :shock:

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
