I don't know what it was but it hurt
A few years ago I was on holiday on Koh Samui in Thailand. One night me and my mate got nicely boozed up and decided we should go skinny dipping in the warm Gulf of Thailand.

I'd got in the water about up to my waist when I suddenly felt an excruciating stabbing pain in my hand. My mate, meanwhile, was happily frolicing around in the water, but I was having none of it and raced back to our bungalow, clutching my paw for dear life.

Once I got into the light I saw two large blackened puncture wounds in my hand, and the pain was just indescribable.

I've no idea what it was, but when I sobered up the next day I realised that whatever had stung/bit/jabbed me had probably passed pretty close to a much more tender part of my anatomy, and that would really have brought tears to my eyes.
