Narrative

Two mechanics were putting a tire on a rim. As one mechanic would pry a portion of the tire bead over the rim with a tire tool, the other mechanic would pry another portion of the tire bead over the rim. When the second mechanic started prying on the tire bead, the first mechanics tire tool slipped and the end of the tire tool hit the first mechanic in the lower lip.
