What happened? What is that a picture of? How did his wife explain this to the police?
On July 30, 2011, Leroy Luetscher of Tuscon Arizona, dropped his pruning shears while gardening. The shears stuck into the ground blade first, the handle sticking up. He bent down to pick them up and slipped.
It may be a good time to have all young children leave the room - before you read the next few sentences...
Yes, he slipped, lost his balance. His head came down full force on the handle and the pruning shears handle went through his eyeball socket all the way to his neck. See the picture, the handle is inside his skull!
The doctors were able to reconstruct the eye socket and save the eye. He now has some minor eye lid swelling and a bit of double vision in he eye.
It is a miracle! Here is a joke he could tell all the neighborhood kids:
Q: What's worse that a pruning shears blade rammed into your eye socket?
A: A pruning shears handle rammed into your eye socket!
I hope he goes out and gets a tattoo to commemorate his miracle. Maybe he should try some of these:
Or maybe just an Oprah Winfrey tattoo will suffice. See Oprah Winfrey Tattoos
