What scars you got?
I have one on my right pink knuckle from punching a door. Another on my right pointer from a red hot coat hanger when I was seven (Pretending to be a blacksmith). On on my right foot from, god knows what, it's been there as long as I can remember. AGAIN! One on my right hand from a swede saw, and tow on my chest, one from where I was shot with a .22 cal pellet, and from the incision the docs made trying to pull it out (and I mean "pull" wiht no success".

You?

1. I have one on my chin.
I fell down the stairs as a toddler and I bashed my chin into one of them old-tyme heating units. My teeth went right through, and apparently my lip was hanging-on by a thread. :scared:

I have another scar on my forehead from the same accident.

I have a scar from between my breasts to my pubic line. And it is at least an inch wide. No need to know how/why I got this particular scar. Oh, and btw... I also have a really interesting scar on my right thumb from a jack biting me. (fishing story - those little fuckers are the shark of the north)
forgot to add:
the scar I have on my tongue.. bit most of it off when I was 3 running up the stairs. My mum (being a nurse) grabbed the lopped off part, put it into a cup of ice and took me to the hospital. They sewed my tongue back in (this was in the '50s folks - no micro surgery then) My older sister made a mint charging her friends to look at my tongue (sewed back on with cat gut). I believe she charged .05$ a look. I could be wrong. Anyway, I still have a very large lump in the middle of tongue from this incident.

6. I have 3.
One very visible one on my right cheek, from a German Shepard bite when I was four - about an inch across (horizontal).

There's a vertical scar that starts at the outside corner of my right eye, from when my brother tripped me and I hit the corner of the coffee table (close call, obviously, being so close to my eye).

And a fairly recent one on my wrist (about 1mm away from a vein) from a glass shard. I was opening an old window, and it kind of got stuck, so I pushed harder and the glass broke, and the force of my hand going up and the glass going down...well, you get the picture. That one especially sucked 'cause I was freshly blazed up. Talk about a buzzkill.
