Though a few weeks ago I grabbed a skewer of scallops from the barby
that slipped off my tongs :-(
Discovered an interesting thing... the only cold water available was
salted water sitting there with green onions in it. Threw them aside
and stuck my finger in... immediate relief and the blister that had
started, subsided. Over the next week it became leathery and flaked
off... but no pain or rawness that often results from such a burn.
So, you can turn off your reflexes?
I saw motion in my peripherial
vision, and caught it without knowing what it was.
Cooling the burn within roughly a minute does that. I slipped and
burned a serious trench in a fingertip working on a delta Vbe
thermometer. Dunked it instantly in the icebath, and it never even
really hurt, just healed up like it never happened.
Apparently it takes time for the heat to penetrate, and to cook your
meat dead. Quick cooling minimizes the damage.
I've used the same trick several times since. Handy. Just yesterday,
in fact.

Oh, I was going to add, *never* use butter or grease. That makes it 10x
worse. Neo-Sporin, or such, can be used *after* it's cooled down.
Not everyone runs away from danger.
I didn't know they had a soldering iron. The place sold CB radios to
truckers and i had never seen anything but a screw driver & drill on
their makeshift bench.
Sigh. Some people are stupid enough to post trolling shit like you
just did.
How would I have known it was a knife, when all I saw was a blur of
something falling in my perherprial vison?
What lunge? I was standing near the bench and only had to reach for
an unknown object. I didn't know what it was. A man's normal refex is
to catch things, but a woman's is to pull away.
Like I asked before: You can turn off your reflexes?

As Huck Finn found.. "mind you, when a girl tries to catch anything in
her lap she throws her knees apart; she don't clap them together the
way you did when you catched the lump of lead".
At least back then dey dids.

Sigh....it's because of people like you that Usenet is dying. Why do you
have to make a 'one-up-man-ship' of everything. You have a reputation of
doing this on any news group you're involved in.
By the way, if I was interviewing the two of you for a job I'd be hiring
the other guy. He at least takes action and tries to help when something
happens instead of standing back doing nothing and criticizing others.

I haven't read any of the rest of this thread - but I dare say your assumption
is wrong that that is gender based. Most of the time something falls off a
bench in my house it's a knife, or in the wood-shop something that will
otherwise cause injury because of sharp edges. When I note something falling
off a bench I skip the other way so's not to get hit or cut or punctured.
It's entirely a question of how you have trained/programmed your reflexes.
OK, so that was funny. So, the girls used their dress as a trampoline.
