Here's my dull knive story...It was about 12 years ago now, when while dicing meat for an omelte, I was a victum of a dull knife (and my own inattention, of course). The knife slipped and took 1/2 inch off the tip of my left middle finger durning the middle of lunch service.
We saved the piece, and had it reattached at the ER. ONLY missed 6 weeks of work while healing. I think we all would agree, only use sharp knives. Or if we know it is dull, PAY ATTENION. Some time later, a commis broke the tip off that same knife when opening a jar with it. I insisted we save it, and now it hangs on the wall as a reminder of what can happen. In the burn category, my worst was when scraping down the flat grill, a 'wave' of bacon grease splashed over the back of my hand--I think bacon grease IS the worst!! Fortunatly, didn't miss any time, but it was wrapped and gloved for quite a while.
Haste makes waste, and leads to injury--lets all be careful out there!
