I worked at an industrial laundry that served hospitals. Think that they account for all the metal bits from the operations....Think again. Sharp bits used to puncture the diaphragm that squeezed the washed linen.
as soon as you poke yourself in the eye you'll know why... I never did that myself welding at home but as soon as I got a job welding and would go through filler rod like potato chips on some big projects, it increased the eye skewering possibility ten-fold so I always bend the ends now... of course I do worry about the hooked end snagging my eyelid and ripping it off, but I bet that would be a bit of a stretch
can't believe it took me this many years to buy a diamond wheel for my bench grinder... what a difference

Another reason to have shook is to hook into your glasses to hold while welding 
or for a teacher to screw around with you and make you all confused when he says to put it on your glasses.

Places that make the high dollar name brand chicken.
My retirement plan is for someone to give me a quarter for every chicken in a 5 mile radius from my house. They can put a LOT of chickens in one house and there are usually 3-6 houses on a farm and probably 15 - 20 farms in that area out where I live. Now, if only I could find that someone....
On the subject though, the hook makes it easier to pull the welpers across the welding table (where you put them "out of the way") so you don't have to get up from your stool.
