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.

Just above my right eye...Picture from 'Look-in' pinned to garage door (probably Essex or Cassidy or some such), small pieces of toilet paper soaked in water, thrown at said picture. This was amusing for about two minutes. Then the projectiles got larger, until my friend decided that half a roll of loo paper, drenced in water, needed to be launched with more force than was available by hand alone. Cue launching from child's plastic spade and subsequent direct hit, not on garage door, but of spade, millimetres above my right eye.
Gushing blood, rush to hospital, concerned nurses, lots of soothing sounds. Until I explained what happened and then all they could do was snigger at my stupidity.
If anyone asks nowadays, I say it was an accident with an axe
