Scars with historyYou've all got scars: they're nature's little reminders not to be so damned stupid next time. My favourite is the 1/4" round hole in the back of my right hand, created when I was 7 by my best friend putting a manure-covered gardening fork "away".
Tell us the stories behind your scars. With photos if possible.

My personal favouritecomes from the time I decided it would be cool to melt a crisp packet in a gas fire. I enjoyed the melting very much... all the pretty colours, the writing getting smaller and so on.
What was not cool was when the margin of safety between the burning plastic and my fingers became too small. I dropped the plastic, it stuck to my fingers a little, and a blob of it landed at the base of my thumb.
It burned for about about 10 minutes as I was running it under the cold tap, and I had blue plastic tattoo welded to my hand afterwards.
Everyone should try it.
I was 26 at the time.
