Man nails hat to head.

George Chandler’s not sure how it happened ... one minute he was installing lattice for his wife’s trailing wisteria, and the next minute he had a two-inch nail from a nail gun embedded in his skull...

Chandler, 60, went to a hospital with his hat nailed lopsided to his head.

"I realised I had just swallowed the ring with a full mouth of cake," she said...

Doctors used a catheter to retrieve the ring from her stomach.
