I think there's more than one fish in that barrel. <g> But yes, Dave's word is pretty much Gospel, continuing in that context.

It's A Pretty Rare Injury

"Patrick Lawler was complaining about on the roof
of his mouth: a 10-centimetre nail the construction
worker had unknowingly embedded in his skull six
days earlier."

He was taken to a suburban Denver hospital, where
he underwent a four-hour surgery. The nail had plunged
four centimetres into his brain, barely missing his right
eye, Metcalse said.

"This is the second one we've seen in this hospital where
the person was injured by the nail gun and didn't actually
realise the nail had been embedded in their skull,"
neurosurgeon Sean Markey told KUSA-TV in Denver.
