Hey, who’s perfect?

People seem awfully touchy these days. You make one little boo-boo and everybody is all over you.

Like the two unfortunate souls described below.

A dentist in Florida is being sued for — brace yourselves — dropping tools down the throat of an elderly patient. Twice!

More specifically, the lawsuit filed by the late victim’s relatives said Dr. Wesley “Butterfingers” Meyers lost his grip on an “implant screwdriver tool” in 2006 and a “mini-wrench” in 2007.

The late victim, 90-year-old Charles Gaal Jr., reportedly died after never fully recovering from surgeries to retrieve the hardware.

Not good. ... By the way, if you’re 90, should you still be referred to as “Jr.”? Just wonderin’.

A little closer to home, a Houston-area woman, Sarah Hanel, is in stable condition after an unfortunate accident in her residence.

It seems that her husband, Justin “Deadeye” Hanel, was sleeping soundly last night when he awoke to find an intruder in his home.

So he did what any red-blooded American would do in such a predicament — he squeezed off a few rounds from a handy pistol!

All’s well that ends well? Not exactly. Turns out the “intruder” was Mrs. Hanel.

Wow. Talk about “egg on my face.”

… Does Hallmark make a card for these awkward situations? I didn’t think so.

Maybe we could send these two to help out in Honduras.

WHEN will Americans learn not to get up in the middle of the night? Just cross your legs and hold it till daylight. Or better yet, thump your bed mate on the head and tell him/her what's up. Or just pee on the damn gun.
