Default Damm torque converters!

I just got me younger brother to help me lift me auto into the shed and the converter fell out and hit his foot. he just left to go get some stiches but the problem is that he is supposed to be boxing tomorrow in the south east queensland tornament. so if he can't i know i'll be his new sparring partner and will get the ИИИИ beaten out of me! nice knowing you all!

If he's manly enough to box, he'll enjoy the oppourtunity to box whilst injured.

That has got to hurt didn't he have his safety thongs on LOL . Ihave gone close to dropping big heavy things on my foot many times you think I would learn to put my steel cappers on before I loose a toe.
One good thing he may not be able to run fast enough to catch you with stiches in his foot.
