Splinter Buster

While vacuuming my room this afternoon, a splinter from my wooden floor stabbed me in the foot and remained stuck.

Half an hour later, after much sweat, effort, and a minor operation by a crack team of hastily-assembled splinter-removers (a.k.a. Keith, with Jed assisting), it was finally withdrawn.

Immediately I went to Ikea and bought this - the Kolon floor protector. No more pesky splinters will stab me in my room again!
