FabSwingers.com forum: These lying wives are really inconsiderate!

That is the old ones who come up with these "tales" that have conflicted later logical knowledge and cause nothing but grief?

My example; at work a newbie who also suffers from being a bit of a fucktard (we all have to work with these specimens, it's a fact of life as sure as night follows day) that I was carrying several sharp edged heavy panels with decided the best way to set them down would be to drop them from waist height. Result; they leap up, back and out of my hands uncontrollably, come flying back down and rip part of my right calf away with them (not the end of the world, only skin and a bit of tissue which then decorated the floor and after the initial urge to punch said numbskull's head clean off his shoulders passed, I was able to get myself to the edge of the floor, cover it, strap it up and hobble through the rest of my working day and the day after.

So all well and good (ish) However some old wife somewhere came up with the utter bullshit that "aside from covering at work for fear of getting infected etc" any gouge of tissue should be left open to the elements "to breathe and help recovery" which every lad on site knew apparently.

Were it not for getting to P's last night and for my darling to exhaustively research the subject in depth in readiness, I'd have carried on with this at best Charlatan's method of treatment. When in fact the complete opposite is true (keep it covered as moist tissue repairs more quickly) And I need it to hurry up and mend as I have a gruelling 16 days work in Belgium starting in 3 days time!

So I guess this post is first to blow yet more smoke up my amazing OHs arse (appropriate as I find her arse amazing all by itself anyway) for her dilligence, and to secondly lambasting this old poorly knowledged group of clucking hens that come up with this complete hogwash! Where do they get off on this nonsense?

Rant (and side serving of praise!) over.
