5th?
Oh well. Here's one from the vaults.

I had a veruca many years back that the doctor froze off, cue much pain, having an inch diameter, blood filled blster on the sole of my foot due to this was excruciating.
Any hoo, a year later I noticed I had a couple of warts on my lower back and thought "I don't want to go through that pain again, I'll just try to pick them off".
These warts were stubborn buggers, and I couldn't seem to get them to loosen up their grip on me. They just started bleeding and reattached themselves.
One drunken night I decided I was going to get the better of these things. I imagine DIY wart removal using a pair of sewing scissors and a pair of mirrors so you can see what you're doing is difficult. Doing this drunk tends to result in a horror film look of scratches where you've missed the target, dug out bits of skin where you've gone in too deep and claret. Lots of claret.

Edit:only just read the cover story, oh well, guess I wasn't the only one
