(no subject)

I knocked out the bottom ball of my industrial today while leaving Whole Foods.

I have had problems like this before, but that was with thinner jewelery. This is a 14 gauge titanium bar with a ball that screws in to it. In other words, not very flimsy.

So, how the hell did I whack my industrial hard enough to knock out a titanium screw, yet not tear my ear off?
