    I once saw a guy take a hatchet to a window unit air conditioner that was laying in the shred pile . When he hit it , it spewed freon into his mouth and all over his beard . Still remember the look on his face , don't imagine that stuff tastes very good.

    Just yesterday I was removing handles from and sorting out pots and pans and one of the screws holding the handle on was stripped, so out comes my trusty hammer to shatter the plastic around the screw...and my face when it flew off! Thank goodness I was wearing safety glasses! Seriously, the impact alone might have put my eye out, if not a sharp edge. I felt the safety glasses press right up against my face under the force!

    Always think before you do...and wear safety gear just in case you don't!
