Just saw it on my Tivo and thought of this section of the group. Rumor is it is a true story...

Moral of the safety story...don't get drunk at an office party and run riding lawnmowers.

From TWoP...

Mad Men TV Show - Guy Walks Into An Advertising Agency - Mad Men Recaps, Mad Men Reviews, Mad Men Episodes | TWoP

there's an office-wide champagne toast to the "good" news as well as to Joan for her last day. They give the office the rest of the day to party, so everyone lets their hair down as people are wont to do when drinking glass after glass of champers at 2pm. Smith find the John Deere riding mower that Ken brought in the day before as a token of him landing the John Deere account, and after he joyrides a little he hands the controls over to Lois. Lois, however, is both drunk and doesn't know how to drive, and she manages to lose control and drive straight over McKendrick's foot, spraying all of the boys with blood. Joan, because she's awesome, immediately leaps into action and puts pressure on the wound while shouting directions -- she saves his life but ultimately not his foot.

I watched that episode last night, I am sure that really happened at some point in time. It was crazy thou...the blood spraying everyone was classic!

That is a great series...it's the only non history channel show I watch.

I snorted my soda when the guy was squeeging the windows. Last week I was on the lot and took a look at the sets. They do such a great job... Looks as nice in person as on film.
