I've made an appointment for the doctor tomorrow, hopefully he will be able to evict this last stubborn bit of wood from my finger and I will be able to start the new year splinter free!

I think the stick can definitely be counted the winner in that little altercation - including tomorrow that will be four doctor visits, one tetanus injection, two boxes of antibiotics and nearly a week off work for me, vs being slightly jostled in the garden for the stick.

Ngl you need to back-charge that splinter rent

I will break a stick in the garden today in honour of your finger and strike fear into the phloem of all future sticks far and wide.

Preferably sturdy leather with a layer of chain mail. Handle carefully and ensure the stick is not aimed towards you.
