Finger + door jamb
Back when I was about 12 I used to go to cub scouts so I could earn the various badges for skills that I'd never use and so on. Anyway one evening we were all lined up for woggle inspecting or some other dubious sounding business. I'd kind of drifted off and somehow managed to put my fingers in the hinge side of a door in the wall behind me.

Anyway, up comes the scout master and quickly pulls the door shut, cutting off the end of one of my fingers in the process. Cue one journey to casualty with me holding my arm in the air for absolutely ages. In casualty they stuck the end back on with some kind of medical sticky tape and bandaged it up with some material which was supposed to not stick to the mending flesh - two weeks later when having it taken off I discover that in fact it does stick very nicely and have to have lots of little bits of my under-nail flesh snipped with tiny scissors. Which was nice.

Anyway, photos of my deformed finger:



Apologies for length, deformity. Back to lurking and finals.
