quite a strange story - space-time - 02-09-2009
I wanted to post this for a while but I always kept putting it off, now I finally got the time to type it up.
This guy I work with is quite a character. In fact he's in Germany and we worked together on some projects. One day I call him and someone else answers the phone. I ask to talk to him, they tell me he's out of the office, he "got a knife in his heart". Strange German humor I say to myself and I plan to call back later. Anyway, time goes by, it turns out he was in the hospital and eventually came back to work and then when we met later he told me what happened.
So his girlfriend was grilling one Sunday morning on the patio and he went in to get some soda, and when he came back out he sneaked behind her and tickled her on her hips. She was scared and turned around and had a knife in her right hand. Well, as she turned around, the knife went in his chest. No one realized how serious it was. They thought the knife only cut the skin and there was no deep cut. Well, the grill was almost done, they turned the grill off, put the food on a plate and went in to continued preparation for breakfast. The guy didn't feel so well so he sat down on the couch. Then later she came in, and sat down next to him, and they decided to call the doctor anyway. They could not get a hold of a doctor, so they called the ambulance. When they came, they took him right away to the hospital and did an MRI, and it turns out the knife went in all they way to the heart, right in the middle, between the left and the right ventricles. He was lucky that the knife went right in the middle, otherwise if the knife hit one of the ventricles, he would have been probably dead.
he had open chest surgery, about 6 weeks later he returned to work and now he's 100% functional without any apparent damages, in fact if he didn't tell you the story and didn't show you the cuts on his chest, you could never tell he was 1/32" away from death.
there are several more strange stories with this guy, but this is the best one and it's 100% true as I talk to his co-workers when he was out and later on when I was over there and I also saw pictures of him in the hospital after surgery.

Woah. Cool story. Thanks for reminding me not to surprise my girlfriend while we're grilling.

I guess as long as she doesn't have a knife in her hand, you're pretty safe.

You should not sneak up on people like that. Reflex actions can be dangerous. I'm glad the guy is OK and I hope he learned never to do that again.

What rgG said. There's a time and a place for goofing around. When sharp objects, flames, or firearms are present is not one of them.

Sounds more like a domestic incident gone wrong but boyfriend doesn't want girlfriend in the hoosegow so the made up this story.
Remember, the crazy ones are the best ones!

you guys missed the introduction, the guy is kind of funny in many ways and I saw him pulling many jokes on colleagues and I can definitely see him sneaking up behind her while she was grilling (why wasn't he grilling I don't know - isn't that a man job anyway?). not a slim chance of domestic incident.
