When tightening the mounting bolts for the bed under your truck don't let the ratchet slip off while you're tightening them and your hand is still holding it. I crushed my pinky finger really bad tonight! I'm not sure yet if it's broken but it hurts really bad!!!! Not to mention, it's twice the size it should be, and about 6 different colors!
Just be careful, that's all I got to say about that!!

Ouch! Hopefully you didn't break your finger.
I once caught a football the wrong way and snapped the bones in several places on 2 of my fingers so I know what you mean when you say it hurts real bad and they get twice the size.
Make sure you get an X-ray of that finger.

Get a couple popcicles a roll of duct tape and your favorite beverage.
Eat the popcicles. Use the sticks and tape to splint the finger , then enjoy the beverage

I bet when you did that you said a few four letter words giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "pinky swear".
