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.

The scar is small , but the story's goodI have two teensy-weensy white dots on the inside of my middle finger. Looks like I stapled myself, or had a couple warts removed... I was playing with my daughter's snake and he reared up to look around. I extended my finger for him to sniff and evidently the end of a pink finger looks exactly like the small pink fingerling mice he eats. He nailed me and I danced around screaming.
Of course if you're flailing about, whipping the snake around like Indiana Jones and His Living Whip, the little guy is going to bite harder in order not to go flying. I finally came to my senses and stopped spazzing and snakey dropped off. My finger was bloody hamburger with two great chunks bitten out. After that, he lunged at me every time I got near. I must taste good.
