Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I got that when my girlfriend pushed me into a river.

Huh. I had a girlfriend who twice caused me to crash into a snowbank while I was driving.

Gud, her name wasn't Diane, was it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm scarred from head to toe, starting from day 1. I can't imagine being unblemished. I even have bruises that are years old.

Compassionately intolerant

Most of my scars are small and pedestrian.

I DO have a scar from a stingray strike...so that's more exotic.

And the one on my ring finger. Lots some nerve action with that one. Won't go into the ever so gross description, but it was epic.

hip deep in pie

I cut the tip off my thumb trying to slice cheese w. a Swiss Army Knife while in a moving car. I was very, very hungover.

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

Hmm:

Age 3: cut up my face "shaving" with my dad's razor. Unknown number of stitches.

Age 4: to the ER after painting myself all over the body to look like a Dalmatian. (No scars from this, just too good not to tell.

Age 4: flipped the Big Wheel, 9 stitches in back of head

Age 13: tripped on a hill, hit sidewalk with face

Age 14: rode bike down hill, hit pothole, landed on chin (9 stitches)

Age 18: climbing Dunn's River Falls, step on glass, slice foot open across the [foot equivalent of the] palm. Still get random pain/itchiness across the scar.

Age 19: condemned pier collapsed under me, 30 some stitches, able to touch skull. Went to Guatemala 3 days later and had to use bottled water to wash my face or hair.

Age 21: gesturing with knife in hand, stabbed self in calf. No stitches but still have the scar.

Age 38: dropped chef's knife, stabbed through nail into big toe.

I think that's all? Possibly I'm forgetting some. Mostly I'm just glad that my destructive impluses have moved from my head and face to my legs.

I DO have a scar from a stingray strike...so that's more exotic.

Ooh, I forgot! Age 1: stung by jellyfish.

Nope, Lara. No snowbank crashing either. As a passenger, I was involved in a crash into a big hedge. I'm not sure exactly how it happened, the driver said "Watch This" and the next thing I knew the view from every window was the inside of a bush.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Electric shock from alfredo sauce.

This wins for the sheer WTFery of it.

And falling through a condemned pier wins for the picturesqueness of it.
