I cut myself near the base of my thumb with a pocketknife when trying to remove the outer hard plastic shell of those juicy drop pop thingy's...the knife left a cut 1/2 inch deep horizontally into my hand. I still to this day tell people i was self-teaching myself how to whittle.

    The story is (I was too young to remember) I was 3 years old and upset about something. I grabbed a knife and yelled, "I'm going to commit soy sauce!" And stabbed myself violently in the wrist. They say time heals all wounds. I guess it's true, or at least the wounds fade and melt into the wrinkles and ravages of time, so they are no longer noticeable. When I was young, the scar was an angry, puckery welt, very noticeable, and people would ask about it. Today I had to look to see if it was even still there.

    Did it to myself with a freshly sharpened pencil once. Don't know why but I decided to hold it point up in one hand. Raised my hand to answer a question and when I brought my arm back down, I slapped my pencil and ended up with lead in my hand.

    Was January in MN. When there’s snow, I always wear boots and yak tracks. There was no snow on the ground, hence tennis shoes. Does absolutely nothing for you on ice except make you go down faster. Black ice is so transparent you don’t know it’s there until you’re on it.

    Being Superman

    Being Superman

    I was about 5 when, after watching A Superman cartoon I tied a towel around my neck and went to our front door. I stood in front of our glass storm door and declared, "You can’t make a deal with the man of steel!", then punched the glass as hard as I could. Flying glass gashed the inside of my forearm. That was 53 years ago.

    A little bit older, but also playing with knives 🤣 The first scar in my knee was due to throwing spikes [bo shuriken] which bounced back from the target and got stuck in my knee cap. The second was while juggling with a few knives, dropped one that got stuck in my ankle. The merits of being young and reckless 😇

    Hi all! Enjoyed a Miami Dolphins game so much that the party continued at my parents home. It was a nice windy day so I decided to fly a kite in their backyard which was half brick pavers and pool. Our chocolate lab was chasing me, lots of laughs until I trip over air. Stood up, saw my wrist was bent (like a step) and went to find my Ma. She wasn’t too happy, mostly because I was 28 and utterly shite-faced. The ER loved it lol. That little white dash is one of three places they had to insert pins. Didn’t feel a thing.

    The funny part was, because my Dad was using the "big" chainsaw to cut down the trees that I was cutting branches off of, he couldn't hear me trying to tell him I'd cut myself, so I asked my friend ( who was there playing "sidewalk superintendent" ) to go tell him, while I went inside to wash/disinfect/bandage, etc. Somehow, "James cut his hand" morphed into "James cut his hand OFF", so my Dad comes running into the house, absolutely FREAKED OUT, to find me running cold water over a couple of cuts less than an inch long, completely mystified as to why he's so panicked.
