So the puppy thought she wanted to play and bit down on my thumb with the pointy sharp puppy teeth. Well the jokes was on her when her tooth got stuck in a callus and she could get it out.

I damn sure remember what that was like...At the top of my palm, below the base of each finger, the calluses got so thick that they would start hurting if I bumped 'em the wrong way...

I used to sterilize a utility knife blade, and slice the top 1/8 inch thick of them off, every month or so....

Girls usta dig a rugged man's hands...:D and they'd tell me so....

i must have had the wrong kind of chef jobs,my hands were callused from being burned constantly and using a knife for hours every day...the alaska jobs were even worse...add in moving 3000lbs of cargo a week,all the boat stuff and other odd jobs...but that was a fairly non-tradition restaurant situation

I am sooooo fuckin' with you man!

I've been good friends with 3 or 4 chefs and cooks in my life.and their hands were almost as callused as a freakin' carpenter's!

For the first 5 minutes, my comment said "office workers" hands... Then I edited it to "chef's hands" to see if I could get a rise outta you...:D

when you think about it everything you're working with is either hot,sharp,or happy to mutilate you if you don't use it right...plus line cooking is like doing low impact aerobics in a sauna while people yell at you

Yeah, carpentry work was almost the same except only the boss could yell at me!:D I'd bean the rest of 'em with a 2 X 4 if they did....

If you timed it just right, you could injure two politicians at a time on that slide, and they have the softest hands of all!
