Tactless? Maybe. Funny? Hell yes ...
On Sunday, hubby and I were working in the garden. We were engaged in all manner of merry shrubbery massacre when disaster struck.

The tree limb my husband was sawing snapped sooner than he expected and bounced up into his face. Blood everywhere. Our poor wee girls, aged 8 and 4 dealt with the disaster bravely, fetching towels and my phone for me, just in case it was an A&E job. After a while, the situation calms down. It's an icepack, asprin and a lie down instead of a hospital trip.

My 8 year old daughter asked her stricken father, "Daddy, can we still play Stratego (her favourite boardgame) this afternoon, please?" My poor husband looks at her through a bloodied towel.

"No darling, I'll bleed all over the place."

"That's alright. You can play the red pieces."

Tactless, or just innocent piss taking?

Asprin probably wasn't the best idea
thins the bloood and makes it bleed more.
Ibuprofen is your friend in these cases also reduces inflamation.
