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.

got a fewOK from the top of me going down:
1" scar between eyes from nutting a table corner aged 10 months - my son and daughter both have scars in the same area, both done at 10 months old too - oooo spooky
Left shoulder - 3 1" scars - 2 front, 1 back, from an op to scrape calcium buildup from my tendons. Told boss of 2 month I'm going for a lil op be back in 3 days - 6 weeks later I turn back up at work still in a sling
Left elbow - 3 inch raggy scar from falling aged about 10 on a newly laid green spikey gravel road. Much bleeding, bone and muck showing through. No trip to hospital cos Dad says "ah he'll be ok" and proceeds to wash it with iodine.
Left index finger - caught in a car door and broken, now points slightly away from the others.
Right wrist - 1" burn scar from hot bitumen when I was a roofer.
Right thumb base - 1" scar from an exhaust I was fixing, no blood from it just a nice neat scar still here 8 years later.
Right thumb by nail - 1" scar from hitting it with mash hammer one day at work, nicley squishing my thumb between it and a big steel chisel, thumb splits and bleeds nicley.
Right index finger - chunk missing where I stupidly left my finger above the chuck of a stress testing machine. I worked in a foundry and this maching pulled steel bars apart. I was told "Don't put your hand above the chuck when you release the samples" - so i went and did it anyway, chuck comes slowly up the machine and straight through my finger. Cue me looking dumbly at a missing piece of finger.
Abdomen - new scars as of 2 weeks ago today :o) - appendectomy - 2" scar by belly buttton, 1" scar about 3" below that and another (1/2" scar) 3" above my john thomas.
Banjo string - over-enthusiastic wife gives me 2 nicks in my banjo string one night. Booze numbs me to the pain.
Right thigh - 1" scar from cutting flooring with a hook-bladed stanley knife. Must remember to cut AWAY from me.
Oh and just today a lil one in my left index finger, from trying to catch a pepper I was cleaning while holding a new very sharp knife.
Ah and finally scars of various lengths (one is about 8") from a lunatic rabbit and mad dog i own. These will fade in a year or so to be replaced by new ones as normal.
Erm first post and my apologies for the extreme length (wish I could say that more often ho hum)
