[Quiet Man Cometh]

Let's see now,

1. shoving a paring knive up through the bottom of a pear when I was cutting them, with knive blade turn towards the hand holding said pair. Not the brightest idea, but I was around ten at the time and had sliced through several pears without incident. Was a little embarrased at the pitch that "mommy!" came out at, especailly since I don't use "mommy" ever. Not as bad as it could have been, just slice up the pad on my finger. Scar is still there. Only 2 stiches.

2. Figure skating punch is the face by a skate blade with toe pic. Only 1 stitch and superglue to fix that one up. Still have a small, sorta bumpy but of scar tissue down by my chin. Only about an inch long though, so not too much damage. Had to bail on the performance that year though. (Precision skating, reverse fan that resulted in said smack).

3. Pitting an avacado a couple years ago with a dull knive. Derp move? Knew that the knife was in a bad spot and hesitated on the twist. Knife came out of the pit along with a piece of it, and smacked downward into my thumb right on the knuckle. No stitches but the nerve is still repairing itself and tapping it the wrong way drives it crazy.

Those are my misfortunes with sharp things. Is it any wonder I don't like knives much? I don't like stoves much either, but we aren't talking about burns here, are we?
