I've got two classics...
one nice round one on the inside of my forearm from an incident whilst driving round the M25 many years ago....
Smoking a cigarette, finished cigarette, threw lit butt out of the window. Lit butt then flies down the arm of my leather jacket (which i'm wearing just a t-shirt underneath) and starts melting it's way into my arm. I'm doing 90 in the fast lane, arghhhhhhhhh. Had to carefully change 3 lanes and pull over before i could take off the jacket (the butt has melted all the lining and my arm quite badly by this point). I gave up smoking 4 years ago.


The other incident is from way back in the when - i guess mid 80's when cans of drink still had the proper "ring pulls" with the ring and blade. I was sleeping on the floor of a friends house after a party. During the night i must have rolled over and was suddenly woken by a very sharp pain in my thigh. Looking down there was a ring pull embedded in it - the entire blade bit, and all that was sticking out was the ring, which i had to pull to take it out! It made me feel very queesy. (sp?)
