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.

Several...1. Scar on thumb from modelling knife (I'd stuck the fuel tank on backwards, you see, and had to remove it - cut away from body, yes, but also thumbs...)
2. Don't shave while drunk. Uni, eh? Only tidgy and on my lip.
3. Tip of my finger - our pet rabbit bit me. The next morning, so my dad said, it ran away to live in the woods. 18 years later dad confeses he'd wrung its neck for hurting me so badly. Shortly after this confession my ex runs away to live in the woods.
4. Dent in forehead following a tree-felling accident. My four year old logic told me that the dangerous place to stand as my 6 year old brother cut down a tree would be in front of him. Therefore the opposite of this - the *safest* place to stand - would be behind him. Cue much blood. My brother hastily drops the axe and claims I did it myself, the wee bast. Probably scared he too would have to go live in the woods.
5. Shingles scars.
6. On Saturday I sliced my hand open and had to go to hospital to have it stuck back together. I could see my tendon. I cut it washing my car. What a numpty, eh? Still, i'll have another scar.
