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.

Multiple lacerationsFirst knuckle of left thumb - skin melted on contact with a hot light bulb when I was a kid.
Just under chin - small scar from being accidentally headbutted by a former team captain during the last ever rugby practice session I went to.
Left knee - a mass of scar tissue as I fell off my bike. I went one way, my knee and the bike another.
Palm of left hand - bike again, same accident.
Just above left hip - six-inch scar from where I _almost_ disembowelled myself when I was eight riding a very dodgy hired bike in France.
Just under right knee - small scar from an operation I carried out on myself (!) to remove a small growth which turned out to look just like a chickpea.
Just above left knee - small puncture wound. I tried to snap a plank of wood from a crate I was breaking up for fire wood over my knee. Drove a dirty big nail into my flesh. Fortunately I was quite pissed, so it didn't hurt too much. Unfortunately, this was in front of about a hundred people, who mostly found this rather amusing
Yes, I am a bit accident prone but at six-foot-two I reserve the right to be.
