"Another Nail In My Heart", no longer just a song by Squeeze...

A British man, Nigel Kirk, was repairing floorboards in his home when he had a little accident with a nail-gun.

[H]e was working in his bathroom when he lost his footing on a towel, stumbled backwards and turned the pneumatic gun on himself as he fell.

He accidentally pulled the trigger, shooting himself at point-blank range in the chest. The nail embedded itself in the wall of his heart, with the tip poking into the heart muscle, but missed the vital arteries.

Mr. Kirk survived the ordeal after undergoing major heart surgery. Doctors had to work carefully as one wrong move would have resulted in blood pouring out of his heart like air from a punctured tire.

And I cry like a baby when I get a torn cuticle.
