There is so much in
this story.
"My mates and I were talking about construction site accidents and taking your eye out with a nail gun, and I foolishly put the gun to my head and pulled the trigger," Shorten told the Sunday Herald Sun newspaper.
"I did a very stupid thing," he said.
Hmmm...something's missing. There's a unspoken detail here crying to get out...
Brad Shorten, a father of three from Victoria state, was enjoying a few beers with friends...
Say no more!
Royal Melbourne Hospital neurosurgeons removed the nail in a delicate four-hour operation even though Shorten, who was expected to make a full recovery, had offered to take the nail out with a pair of pliers.
Doctors, smocters. All a man needs is his toolbox!
