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.

my own faultfor trying to repair my mudguard whilst still cycling. I hit a stone and my finger went straight into the wheel. The bike stopped dead and I went flying over the top on the axis of my finger, jammed in the wheel.
I landed on my head (which hurt) and several x-rays later (to my hand and spine), the only damage was revealed to be a broken finger, shattered at the knuckle.
I've got some nasty scars where the hooks went in to hold the bone in place - lovely photo here. The finger started to turn on the knuckle as it healed, so they had to operate and basically twist the finger round by force.
I've got another operation this week, to try and free up the finger tip, which involves pulling the tendons out of the bone - the only risk being that the tendons could snap...
