That the coolest sounding scar ever!
Remember those big homemade backyard BBQ's people had back in the 60's, the ones made out of bricks with the tall chimneys? There was a couple of brothers in my neighborhood that made a molotov cocktail, climbed on top of the BBQ, dropped the bottle down the chimney and both looked down the chimney to watch. Yeah, BAD idea! The older one got burned pretty bad.
I tried to keep the wife out of my tools by getting her a small, basic set of her own. She puts it away in her hobby room. Next time she needs something, I find one of my screwdrivers laying on the kitchen counter. When I inquire as to why it's there, she says (with a straight face) "Mine are all the way upstairs. Yours are right out in the garage."Quote:

I found one of my dads knives when I was 10. I took it outside and was cutting on a stick... slipped of and hacked my finger down to the bone,walked inside and started washing it and got caught, pops thought that was punishment enough, but I learned my lesson thats for sure. I've been safe with weapons and tools ever since. He gave me a knife 1 year later!Quote:

I stuck the tip into my forearm deep enough that you could see the muscle moving as I moved. It didn't hardly bleed a drop. My father put a butterfly bandaid on it and away I went.Quote:

The best (worst) one though was when I was a young Airman and took a header off the wingtip of an F-106. Tore, didn't cut, a 2 1/2" rip in my scalp through my hat and loosened my scalp enough that I could move it forward and back (after I woke up on the flightline). The worst part was when the nurse had to shave around it. The 8 stitches weren't bad at all. Bled like hell, though.
I've never gotten bit by an F-16, though. (Knock on wood!)
I was helping a bud build a house and the wind was raging. So we dicided to pack up. I didn't even see it a full sheet of 1/2 osb came flying thru the air and knocked me out. Woke up and the guys had a t shirt on my head and I was bleeding bad.
So my bud and me head for Swedish, on the way I tell him to stop and get us some beer. So we finally get there and wait, and wait. Then a nurse see's me covered in blood and hails us in. She says you need to come in the Trauma door.
So she procedds to scrub the gash with what felt like a wire brush. Huh?
Then off to xray, back to er room, german plastic surgeon comes in, whips out his suture, OOOWwww,,, he says You can feel that ... Duh yeah no numbing stuff yet.
So numbs me up stiches away and 16 minutes later and 2800.00 I got 28 stiches on the forehead and 7 on the skull.
The best part was, You have a slight concussion so no Beer... WHOOPS
I have you all beat...
One car vehicle rollover OFF A BRIDGE. I was ejected (no seatbelt). One minute the day is great, long day of satisfying work, blue skies, etc... next minute waking up in a hospital several weeks later.
Broke every bone in my body. Literally, except my left femur. Several weeks in coma, over a year in rehab.
Now for scars... my whole right arm is grafted. On my right shoulder there is about a three inch scar through the arm and into my right chest. This was where teh frame of the window (rebar piece in the frame) went through my arm, into my chest, puncturing my right lung and pinning my arm to the side... apparantely while the vehicle was ROLLING over me as I was found ejected and over 100 feet from the truck. Still have HALO scars (holes) in my head. And my back has some good scars. Right knee can pop in and out of socket (and hurts like hell when it does).
Thank you, next.
hehe. This is a true story.
