"What good are those? That thing just shot up my nose"!

Sure enough, two hard blows later, out it came.
after cutting off a zip tie

MENTOR:"Get the dremmel and remove the tip from that zip tie."
ME: "It's obviously sharp, no one would be stupid enough to grab it."
MENTOR:"Watch this" *Walks over and grabs the zip tie. Blood starts pouring out of the wound."
ME:"Wow, thanks for the example!"
