    In my teens, I was removing paint from a business front window with razor blades. I bet you can imagine where this is going? Six stitches later and just missing a tendon by one millimeter, I eventually healed up just fine. :oops:

    BTW, being able to look inside your palm is kind of gnarly. :eek:

    Oh, here's another, and this was really dumb.

    Being the nature freak that I am, I was out at Leo Carrillo beach with a friend when we were in our 20s. I was turning over rocks in the tide pools to check out the creatures that were hiding underneath them. All was going well. I had turned over every rock in a big pool that was reasonably sized. But I knew the good stuff was going to be under a BIG rock that looked to weigh about 150 pounds. It was teetering on some hard bottom in another pool. My plan was to shimmy it up and out of the way. Well, I shimmied it up onto my middle finger. I knew right away that something was wrong. I tipped the rock just enough to pull my hand out and the end digit of my middle finger was squished flat, like a quarter! :eek:

    Then the blood started. I went into shock and almost passed out. We wrapped it up and set off to the ER. The doctor said, "Ohhhh, good job!!". :laugh: It turns out that I had shattered the bone and my fingernail. The tip of of my finger split down the middle and after it healed, it looked like a set of butt cheeks for many years. :D

    My finger nail grew back all whack. I have to keep it trimmed very close because it grows upward and snags things easily. Ask me when we are riding sometime if you wanna see it.

    Back in my messenger days, I was completing a run at a downtown law firm. As I walked in, the receptionist and a secretary noticed that I had scrapes on both of my knees.
    "Whoa, your legs are scratched up. Did you crash?"
    "uh, yeah, nothing big.... "
    The secretary stepped from behind the counter, looked down, and said, "Bullshit. Those are carpet burns. My boyfriend has the same thing. I got 'em on my back!"
    Busted!

    Several years ago a young female coworker of mine always wore short skirts even on cold days. One day I happened to see her knees and I just blurted out (forgetting about sexual harrasment protocols whoops) "is that...rugburn?!"
    Her face turned bright red. Busted!!

    Last spring while trimming hedges I accidentally rammed the sharp point of the pruner very hard into my wrist. Missed a tendon by a millimeter but seems to be some lasting nerve damage (feeling not function).
