Scars with historyYou've all got scars: they're nature's little reminders not to be so damned stupid next time. My favourite is the 1/4" round hole in the back of my right hand, created when I was 7 by my best friend putting a manure-covered gardening fork "away".
Tell us the stories behind your scars. With photos if possible.

Human patchwork - you decide!Aged eleven, fell off pushbike and gouged neat 1 1/2 incher in right hip. Nothing for a long time, and then I got knocked off my Honda. The subsequent bone graft left a 4" zipper in my left shin, and a footlong slash on my left hip. Subsequent knee ops have left it looking like a doily.
Then in 2002 I went climbing and screwed up. Exposed tibial fracture, repaired thusly (NSFW and very large): homepage.ntlworld.com/john.bramwells/legwound4.jpg
There's also the 2" scar on my right knee where they pushed in the steel pin. And the scars on my ankle where they put in the bolts.
A minor addition is the 7" appendectomy scar, collected last year. Got a right bollocking for taking myself to hospital on the bus, along with half a dozen paperbacks but no clean underwear.
