gore fest
The obvious choice for my A levels (being a lazy git) was art & theatre design. I had a little bit of talent for this so I was stationed by the main entrance to the top floor along with 2 of the upper sixth formers who were now busy with their final exam pieces and we were cordial to each other, although being the lower sixth former meant that I was treated a little disdainfully (upper sixth twats). The whole place was open plan and we always had a class of regular school kids taking their art class in full view of what we were doing.

For one of my theatre design projects I was making a scale model out of all kinds of stuff, balsa wood, cardboard etc and being a little bit bored I started to carve a piece of wood with a stanley knife whilst standing next to the upper sixth twat who was painting a frog (it was quite good i must say). I stood the piece on its end with my hand on top and carved downwards whilst some 11 year old kids who were fingerpainting sat nearby spell bound with what I was doing. On my last downward stroke the knife snagged, the wood flew out and my hand dropped onto the stanley blade which went into the fleshy part at the base of the thumb. I wasn't aware of this but there is a pretty big vein running through there and I sliced it open very nicely as the blade went quite deep. Blood spurted out about 3 feet over the kids and then all over the work of art from the upper sixth former which was a final exam piece and all hell broke loose. Kids screaming, people diving on top of me and teachers running around in a panic. I was rushed to hospital for stitches and I never went back to college again

I'm in a pedantic mood today, sorry.
Blood never spurts from veins, as they're low-pressure.
Arteries, on the other hand, are spurty bastards.
