How I got myself injured over the night

A short story:
Me and two mates went out at 22:30 yesterday and we wanted to start out a small 'camp fire' for the three of us.
So we took some planks and some carboards with us and set up a nice one in some gravel spot behind one mate's house.
So at about 23:30 someone from the near houses called the town security and the guy came by and told us to utt the fire out. My genious friend said that we have these huge wet thick cardboards so we can put it over the fire and jump on it to put out the fire.
So the guy takes one and starts jumping on the burning wood. I saw it managed to put some heat out so I took one myself and started doing the same.
What I didn't know that on one of the broad planks were nails. 2.5mm thick and 6cm long nails.
That were put in a fire for an hour.
So I jumped on the wood plank. Jump - Jump - Jump and <span style='color:blue' title='I&#39;m naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span>.

One of the hot nails pierced my sole, and got into my foot, making a 4mm long hole in there.
I tell you, I'm not being a hero, but it didn't hurt. Only when it entered my foot by I immideiatly jumped out and took of the shoe, the nail was in it, i throwed the shoe off and jumped off to the curb to see what happened to my foot.

No serious damage done. I got an anti-tetanus vaccine this morning. I was lucky, because today when I got home from school (imagine me limping this way all through school) I took off my shoe and I touched my fingers gently and I noticed tha when I move one of them it's hurting a bit, means that if the nail had dug in bit more I could lose a tendon! But luckily I didn't.

Well, here's an end to a very stupid act :)

Jumping on fire, regardless of reason, is never a smart thing to do. Water works way better most of the time, trust me :)

What makes a fire go? Oxygen. Water exists out of? H2O exists out of? :p

I prefer to throw a fireblanket ;) Anyway, when i'm drunk i don't throw much ;) Let alone i'd hit it :p

Just extending upon your logic


Fires are what? Hot. Blankets do what? Keep warmth in

???

The reason fireblankets work is they smother the fire. You probably should have used dirt or something...

Since yesterday, I was limping because of my foor injury.
But today at school I decided I don't want to limp. It's really annoying.
Not comfortable, and prevents me from doing things I like.
So I just stopped limping! It's really all psychological. Amazingly I still feel a bit of pain when I step on my right foot but I am not limping :)
