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.

Clothes linedI was actually clothes lined. Horse riding in a friends garden (farming family-big garden) when some random dog enters the garden and proceeds to scare the shit out of the horse.
The horse bolts. Enormous fucker then decides that under the clothes line is the best route of escape. Catch is, hes short enough to go under the clothes line, so am I but not when Im sat astride an eight foot tall horse clinging on for dear life.
This results in rope burns (from a nasty grimy rope) on my neck, chin, shoulder, nose and lips which were extremely nasty looking (puss and such) for a good four months. On the upside the one on lip was this kick ass slash thing so I didn't just look like some tit who fell off a horse, people have to be sensitive when you're disfigured. Fortunately only have a slight scar on my lip now but the one on my neck looks like a love bite. Results in many awkward questions from potential boyfriends but makes it easier to pull for some reason. However people tend to give weird looks when you tell them you got a rope burn on your neck, they start to wonder and regularly ask things like "Are you happy with how things are going in your life?".
Apologies for length!
