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.

I have a scar in the centre of my left cheekwhich is a pefect ring about 6mm in diameter and 1mm thick. I managed to get it when I was about 8 by pressing the launcher for a toy helicopter against my face and pretending it was an electric razor. It was a battery powered device with a small rotating wheel in the centre with plastic hooks on which a spindle on the helicopter clipped to in order to spin the rotors. First of all the skin stung a bit, then the next day it went hard. Next it flaked off and left a perfect ring of bare flesh which then scabbed over. Once I had picked the scab off and it eventually healed I was left with a scar which no girl can ever resist asking about. Which is shit because it's really embarassing to explain how I got it in such a pathetic yet difficult to explain manner.
