You know, after having played machinist, removing a nice quarter-inch long buried splinter from a sheet of plywood was pretty much a no-drama situation.

How did the plywood get the splinter? Was it not wearing gloves?

It tripped over a comma splice that someone left laying in the floor.

Was the comma not it the right place in the sentence? Happens to me all the time.

Let me loan you a bit of advise.  That should be "lying on the floor."

Couldn't resist.  Sorry.
