I woke up this morning with my head throbbing. There was sawdust all over my clothes and I have vague, lingering feelings of claustrophobia. I think I may have been abducted by aliens but I can't be sure.
Can anyone shed any light? Don't make it too bright though...

Are you on holidays??
That happened to me only once.... in the middle of a large boat building project (friend's).. we had been laminating epoxy till the wee small hours, long after the time when the use of power tools is even possible let alone allowed, and I woke up stuck to his couch.
He fared worse, was actually in bed but his sandshoe was stuck to the foot of the bed, and he had a lump of cedar stuck to his head too.
It was before we knew about the efficacy of foil though, what's your excuse??
THEYRE BAAAAAAAACK!

sounds like you've been drinking whilst standing in your dust collector.
Alternatively so long as the aliens havn't been showing you the golden rivet I'm sure you'll be fine (but sore)....

Close. Very close
I think that there may have been a Mexican and a Chinese person involved also.
:D :D ;)

When I was a teenager I used to work in a bicycle factory during the school holidays. My job was to put the tyres and tubes on the wheels. No tyre levers, just your thumbs.
One morning I woke up and there was a wheel, complete with tyre and tube sitting by my brothers bed waiting to be fitted. That really freaked me out and with all the various stresses I've had in 53 years I've never had anything like that happen again.

Hell no. I'm up here in the big smoke getting my fix of queues, traffic, and alien abductions.
OK, I'll come clean. I might have had a wee bit too much of that amber stuff. Why else would an otherwise normal human being be standing in someone's workshop at 1:00 in the morning trying to cut dovetails?
So what's your excuse, Scott :p

That glass of light beer you bought me. :p
And all the screaming and shouting in workshop. “I won, I won. :D ”

Darren and Scott I'm disappointed in you. You two of all people should know that if you don't wear your foilie you WILL get abducted.

Sometimes, even your blunt tools won't do what you want them to do. :(

It must be catchy - this ailment.
I too woke up on Wednesday morning and I didn't feel like jogging around the block. Sawdust on my clothes .....
I did meet some people from NSW the previous day so perhaps it is more contagious than outrageous :D :D :D
Seeing a Chinese chap on the front of AWR holding a plane caused some flashbacks ........
