and some short ones
1. As a child, my mate got attacked by an owl that got its claw stuck in her forehead for ages, making it seem as if she was wearing a novel animatronic feather hat.

2. I got bitten by a dying cancerous gerbil. I was young and did not understand the concept of cancer at the time, and was convinced I had contracted gerbil cancer for many months.

3. I have endless dog stories, they really hate me, but one that sticks was the pitbull that tried to rip my throat out until my friend punted it with a foot. I had bruises that looked like whip marks from its claws for ages.

4. I once got a bee stuck in my eye. It very nicely didn't sting me. I like bees.

5. My brother got attacked by a robin that our cat had delivered to his room. He claims it was hanging upside down off a poster and he thought it was dead until it whipped its wings out bat-style and flew at his head. I have never laughed so hard at his face. He still hates birds.

6. My boyfriend was attacked by a gang of monkeys. Fantastic.

7. I once showered with a cockroach. I caught it in an upturned glass and it stayed there waving at me until I put a plastic bag over it, because it seemed to be perving.

8. Everyone's has goat kids eat their hair. But how many have been herded into this attack by a gaggle of geese? Me. I hate geese.
