RIP saw……..

Not too handy…man!

A little lower, and her hair would be parted down the middle.

Now you have to clean up her chair!

The new part suits her.

I love sharp humor!

Cue PTSD!

Eek!

Maybe she should arrange to be out when he does his thing!!!

She saw a blade, but she doesn’t feel gay about it.

The rip on the carpet really sells the action, nice touch. Lol

Go right now, and buy a lottery ticket!

It looks like it hit the floor then narrowly missed her head and… hey, she looks fairly shook up about something.

’Sawright, hon?

I don’t know about the floor, rug or wall; but that chair is ruined for life!

Even the carpet is in on the action, e e e e e….

“It was an accident! Yeah, that’s the ticket, an accident!”

Let’s now view this in slow motion.

You’re going to want to tighten that nut on your table saw a bit better.

Oh thank goodness, Bleeb is safe.

I actually had a hand grinder with a 4" circular saw blade on it get bound up, then kicked out of my hands, flip around and get stuck in my stomach. I had a nylon shirt on so it bound up the blade (thankfully). The heat from the blade melted the shirt and cauterized the wound. It was stuck and I had to pull it out, slapped my hand across it and bend a bit to keep it from separating and guts spilling out. Fortunately, the cauterizing kept it all closed. I considered duct taping it and finishing the job before going to the ER but my wife insisted on ER first. It didn’t eviscerate me so the ER doc cleaned and stitched me up. She did debate on surgery while cleaning up the wound but decided stitches would be enough.

Divorce him before he kills you.

Not a very good buzz-sawyer, is he?

oopsie. Maybe I shouldn’t have replaced the electric motor with a V-8, eh, dear? Dear?

Bleeb better move it’s going to stink back there

Sure the heck beats what a shuriken can do!

ha! reminds me of my childhood.

She saw it. Somebody is about to get cut off.

ISWYDT.

And that’s the last he ever saw of her.

Someone needs a class in home safety with tools.

Darn, I missed. . . I mean, thank goodness it missed you. Don’t worry, I will try harder next time.

The trajectory of the blade looks like it came through the front window. But he appears to be working in the basement. How’d that happen?

Even Bleeb is duckin’.

Hey, don’t forget to tell her you’re sawwy.

She almost got a splitting headache.

♫ The first time, ever I sawed your face ♫ ♫

I love me some good see-saw humor.

Measure twice then cut dummy.

It would take a stand-up comic 15 minutes to tell the same story that McPherson tells in a single panel. I cry-laughed for a good 5 minutes – one of Close to Home’s best ever!

Oh she saw it alright

Hey, it could have been a Lot worse.

Wanna help me pull it out of the wall? Oh, you’re not bleeding or anything, right.

We saw that coming, didn’t we?
