Oh please. Good try but I refuse to believe you are that stupid.
Not only that...to hold the handle of a staple gun, your hand is
no where near the staple end.

failed attempt at faux stupid :-D

For real. It took me hours to get the staple out of my hand. My mother
kept saying to yank it out like you do with a band aid, but I couldn't
do that.

Maybe I wasn't very observant, but at least I never made that mistake
again.

And it took "hours" for Bruce to remove the staple from his hand?

He didn't say he drove the staple into the hand holding the staple
gun... it's a common occurance for the mechanically challenged to
drive a staple into the hand holding that which is being stapled.
Left handed roofers have been known to nailgun the hand postioning the
shingle to the roof. You don't ever want to go hunting with a
lefty... firearms are designed for right handed people, a lefty has to
go into danger mode to operate the safety and shells are ejected into
the lefty's face.

Not all southpaws hold their gun in the wrong hand. I put the rifle
into my right shoulder just like my husband does.

Witch eye do you aim with? I'm left handed, left eye dominant and
trying to shoot off the right would be very cumbersome for me. Right
eye would be OK. I do some thing right handed like a baseball bat or
golf club.

But that's what happened. I was pushing the staple gun hard, expecting
the staple to come out on the other side.

Ah. I'm right-eye dominant. Now I want to go take a left-brain,
right-brain quiz. I suspect I already know the results.

I am basically right handed and right eye dominant, but I am somewhat
ambidextrous. I paddle a canoe left handed, can swing a bat or an axe
left or right handed. I can print left handed. My left handed printing
is actually neater than right handed, but takes about four times longer.
There are a number of tasks I can do with either hand.

I hold a pool cue lefty. I'm not trying to be different, it's just that nobody told me how to hold the cue properly.

I once put a staple in my thumb. Granted, I was a kid and it was a regular
stapler. It jammed up so I turned it over trying to see what the problem
was. Thumb was in the wrong place and I accidentally pressed down on the
top. Ow! Wasn't jammed then!

There you go. It can happen to all of us.
