Everyone where I work is required to get a flu shot. To make it convenient, several needle stickers set up shop in a conference room somewhere in our building. Today was the day for us all to get shot (or sprayed if that is the prefered method). After standing in life for a much shorted time than I had expected, I got my turn. The lady with the needles was very nice and did what she could to distract me as she stuck me with the needle. (I am not afraid of needles, when you are accident prone you get used to a little pain on a regular basis). The needle went in with no problem, but when she pushed the syringe to inject the fluid, the whole thing blew apart. This left the needle sticking out of my arm looking much like if I had shot myself with a nailgun. It seems, although it may not look it, the muscles in my arm are hard as rocks. What other explanation could there be for the syringe busting. I'm like superman with a layer of fat on the outside.
Using a second needle on the other arm (so I got stuck twice for one flu shot), she had no issues.
I guess there is a little more fat covering my rock hard body on that side.
