1. Broke the head off of a screw

I was using to put up some metal siding on my new building. The bad part is it takes about 5 minutes to drill in those, self tapping screws, into the metal behind the siding. Oh well, no biggie.

2. The Last Thing I Broke, Sir?

A lead figurine I had assembled and was painting. I was moving it out of the way to a place of safety (I thought), and got a bit clumsy. Not only did pieces come off, but the head is gone, even after a couple hours searching on a hardwood floor.

Here is what it looked like when it struck the floor....

I was putting it away and it just slipped from my hands, landed on the floor and shattered. I used that dish at least weekly for the last 44 years.

What's the last thing that you broke and how did it happen?

A rib. My lady and I were fooling around and rolled out of bed with her landing on top of me.
