I recall my Dad hitting his thumb nail with a hammer, then going over to the Drill press and drilling a hole in the nail to relieve the pressure….sure he lost his nail, he said it really took the pain away quickly. So a number of years later, I smacked my thumb and went to the DP and drilled a 1/16 hole in the nail….it turnes out that hurts too…especially when you go too deep cause you are in a hurry…..
Mama always said that I was not the brightest bulb in the box!
