This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"

No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

This is a QotW answer I once tried to gain sexual gratification..
.. from one of those 'compressed air' guns one finds on garage forecourts, for the inflation of tyres.

The high pressure blast of air, rent my sphincter in twain and sent bits of me into all four corners of the forecourt.

I am writing this from intensive care, through a straw.

This is a QotW comment It's ok..
I was going to put this one down in my "Conned" answers, but I've been standing in front of the microwave whilst its been on full power with the door open, thus rendering me a jaffa.
So the joke's on them!

Eating ready meals would make you impotant.

They don't let you have straws on the intensive care wards.
