Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think you can be killed instantly - or at least rendered unconscious instantly with death following quickly - by a well-placed blow to the temple.

Back of the head is more likely for a quick death. That's the part of the brain that keeps you breathing.

I have a scar on the bottom of my chin, and also one on my cheekbone.

Bro of college roommate was horsing around with others in a parking lot, the car he was sitting on moved, he fell off the hood and hit his head. Lungs collapsed, coma, dead in a week.

Bony bits and facial scars - it is as ita says. I managed to split open my softball teammate's cheek with a lame-o groundball during some batting practice a couple weeks ago. We were on a crappy hard lumpy field and the ball took a bad hop and bopped him in the left cheek. Left a little scrape on the meaty part of his cheek, but split it open right on top of the cheekbone. Nine stitches - one inside and 8 outside.

I've got the standard issue scar-under-the-chin, with four giant stitch marks, possibly acheived via bunkbed dismount, circa 1970. Gotta love army health care (Dad was army back then).

Just got back from the flu shot--no owies for me! I didn't even notice that the shot was happening.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Fully half the men I have ever met have a scar on or just under the points of their chins (this is less common among women, who apparently do not get caught up in horse-falls or explosions nearly as much).

I have one. Bike crash.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I seem to have a ball-up-and-roll instinct that has helped me avoid any scarring of the chin.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Five letters is still pretty impressive though.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I've split my chin twice.

TWO rows of stitches, baybee!
