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.

Fainting scarI fainted on a traffic island (due to excessive alcohol and caffeine abuse the night before, allegedly) and managed to gouge a nice big hole just above my upper lip. When I came to in a big pool of blood, surrounded by paramedics and rubber-neckers, the conversation went something like this:
"What's your name son?"
"Cigarette..."
"What's your name?"
"I need a cigarette"
Not that it hurt or anything, it was just what I wanted at the time. The ambulance man refused to let me see the wound, which pissed me off as I was curious.
My fingers also suffer constant abuse due to my obsession with sharp knives and general spackiness. This includes demonstrating how fast I can chop onions (very fast) while drunk, whittling a conker (why?!) and playing with a cut-throat razor (why?!).
