several, actually.
1. inch long scar on my head, perfectly central, where no hair grows. Caused at age 3 by me stepping over a sleeping labrador, which woke up and stood up, pitching me into the doorframe.

2. eight inch long scar across belly. was much smaller when I got it, having life-saving surgery at age 4 weeks. (I had pyloric stenosis, an extra stomach muscle caused me to projectile vomit everything I ate. Cool.)

3. Scar on knee from falling down metal-fire-escape-stlye stairs at Swindon Oasis Waterpark.

4. 2 round scars on back of left hand. One from a cigarette (in the "let's put fags out on each other's hands" era of teen life) and one from a cigar (in the "you're drunk and my hand's next to the ashtray" stage)

5. a series of (thankfully) partial linear scars on my left forearm. From a game. A game involving a botle of southern comfort, a packet of crisps, a pot noodle and a rusty pen knife. It ended up with me and the other competitors with "cum" and "cunt" cut into our right and left forearms respectively. One player's scars are invisible until she gets a tan, when they glow white. Heh heh. Ooops.

6. Circumcision. ow.

7. Left thumb has a "halo" of pale scar tissue from a time I came home a litle the worse for wear and tried to cut some bread... It was held on by a string.

8. Similar ring on index finger of left hand. Got inattentive whilst cutting open bags of SMT components with a scalpel.

9. Holes in both eyebrows, lip and tongue (from piercings, only one of which (the tongue) my work would let me keep.)

10. I don't have a tenth, but I want one so the list is better.

Apologies for length (fnar fnar)
