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.

This is a Quick One, I PromiseLast Year: My cat had some weird skin condition that required I bathe her with a special treatment from the vet. Being the consummate pet owner, I insisted on bathing her myself (even though I could have let the vet do it).
The cat was very calm until the water hit her butt and went from still to freakout in about .000025 seconds. I couldn't move quick enough to compensate for this unbelievable show of feline prowress. I let go, she hits the water, lets out a frightening yowl (I should note I am standing in the tub with her) and she decides to use me as a climbing post to get out of the tub.
The result? A scar on my lower left calf, one on my belly and one on my hand. There was also water every-freakin-where.
The vet's response to all of this? "Well...we usually knock them out with a sedative first..."
