Heat-shrink finger-cot

Just the tip... just to see how it feels.

Shit. I hit enter by accident without filling in the idea. Turns out there is no line return in the Summary section. Stay tuned.

So I went and sliced the tip off of my giving-the-bird finger. Got to see the bone for a few seconds before the blood welled up.

I needed to wear one of those finger-cots or condoms as my wife was catering Oktoberfest and there was lots more prep work to be done.

Well that was just not something I could bear the pain of to do again the next day.

So, introducing the heat-shrink finger cot. Designed to be kept in a cool environment, these water-proof one-size-fits-all condoms have been engineered to shrink at slightly less than human body temperature.

       Will the cot be stretched between 2 trees?

       I suppose it could.   

       Meat slicer if anyone is wondering...   

       ...use the right tool for the job I always say.   

       Damn!   

       Here's a trick the meat slicer companies don't want you to know: don't cut your fingers off when using a meat slicer.   

       You're welcome.   

       As for the idea, the user might burn their finger as well as almost cutting it off so enthusiastic bun. [+]   

       But seriously, be careful bro.

       Ow.   

       Must be a different use of the word "cot" than I'm familiar with.

       I could have used this the other day when I forgot for a moment that the electric planer keeps spinning for quite some time after the power has been turned off.

       ..But polyolefin heat shrink needs about 80 degs C. We need _cold_ shrink [link].

       Be careful typing those Ks.
