I had a pretty bad week myself last week. On Monday, I singed my eyebrows while trying to light the gas-cooker. On Tuesday, I grazed my chin and scratched my cheek on a revolving door. On Wednesday, I banged my head when I walked into a door. On Thursday, I chipped one of my front teeth when I fell on the ice. On Friday, I knocked the other front tooth out when I fell on the ice again. On Sunday, I scalded my face with my shaving water, split my lip open eating one of my wife’s rock-cakes, came out in a rash because of something I’d eaten and had earache for some reason or other.
