Revenge of the Sharp Objects

As you might have guessed from the title I have a new injury and more sharp objects to add to my "no touchy" list. This time around it is the inside edge of a large barrel being made into a deer feeder. While helping my father get his new feeder set up I managed to get very greasy from the inside of it and then when we went to turn it upside down (me with two crescent wrenches in one hand) I found out how sharp the inside rim was. Lets just say if I hadn't dropped it when I did I would have sliced my thumb right to the bone. Lots and lots and lots of blood. Oh and it hurt like hell when I washed it. And yes as you can guess, I am using band aids as makeshift stitches because hey I don't like needles and stitches and hospitals. My dad really wanted to take me to the hospital to get it stitched up but I wouldn't let him. It still hurts though. And I have several smaller cuts on my other fingers and knuckles on both hands. My dad was like, "Oh yeah, it's sharp." Gee thanks for the warning after I slit myself up, gushing blood, and doing some heavy duty cursing. Apparently the big gash on the back of his hand was caused by the same thing. You'd think he'd warn me before I try moving it. He just better be careful when putting corn in there. That could get painful. So yeah, the new deer feeder gets added to the broken beakers, scissors, and razor blades list of things I must avoid if possible.
