I have only two really good stories i can think of now, but at least the first one is pretty good.
when i was quite young, at pretty much the limits of my memory, so 2 or 3ish, probably, my parents went bowling and took me with them. i was watching and i saw the machine where the bowling balls come out of. In my young mind, i decided that it was a gaint gum ball dispenser! intrigued, i went over and watched it for a bit, and then when anouther "gumball" showed up, i reached in to grab it.
Shortly afterwards, i was raced to the ER with most of the skin of the back of my hand gone. My hand had gotten smashed between the bowling ball and the lip of the machine, and the track that spits the ball had, of cource, kept going, and so it took a long time to finally get my hand out. i still have a big scar on the back of my hand that is about an inch diameter on the top of the back of my hand and then runs up to my first joint on my middle finger. people still ask what happened when they see it. >.<
Secondly, and not nearly as impressive, i broke my little toe last year. i was doing TKD techniques last semester with a friend of mine in the lounge. Yellow techniques include an outside cresent kick. I go to make the kick, and on the upward swing my toe caught an armchair next to us and broke it. I thought at first it was jsut jambed, but eventually i went to the student health palce and they told me it was broken. and, since it was a little toe, they couldn't actually do anythign about the break. AND, jsut to compund matters, i had a belt test in less then a week >.<. I tested, too, and passed, but damn did it hurt afterwards. So, i was limping for about a month, and incapable of wearing closed-toed shoes for more then that. Freakin' little toe
