well over 50.... lost count. spent alot of years as hd mechanic and to date, fingers are pretty tough, and in most cases dont no I've been nicked til i see a trail of blood. Took a jackall in the chin, split my lip to nose in a fight, upper eyebrow in a fight (should be a better fighter)  3 fingers  reattached from a skate cut in hockey. in general i suck. i needed four today from a cut but glued the cut close. keep glue in the fridge and get it done before i get dirt in

Aaron... scat is poop... I hope you don't have poop on your arm all the time. That is what TP is for.

Slim, just thinking and I may be way off but I 'm going to suggest you avoid horses.  Seriously... I just don't think that it's a good idea for you  ;)

I had that when I was a kid, I thought it was a good idea to play with a fire poker while trying(I repeat trying) to run down a set of stairs, I looked like a pirate for a while, which was kinda cool as a kid, but painfull

some in my forehead from running into a wall as a child too

some on my upper lip from flipping back on a small plastic horse with wheels and getting the head in the lip

back of the head from falling off the back of the couch and hitting my head on the fireplace mantle

no broken bones yet(knocks on wood)

about 45 scars from various things that did not need stitches


wow I sucked as  a child I guess

7 deep 10 on top. Left forearm, still have a nasty nasty scar.

Rode my Harley way to quick around a corner and hit some gravel and went down. Picked it back up rode to a buddys (who wasnt even home) then rode to the hospital.

It took 2 hours to pick out all the gravel and cut off all the "dead" skin.










...and by Harley I mean Yamaha Razz 50 (when I was 14)



Radical.

8 stiches on my left wrist from an ice climbing incident (crossing tools looks cool, but sux bad whenyou inadvertantly pull the higher placed axe)

1 stitch in my left eye after surgery to remove a thorn tip I broke off in my eye wile tree planting in northern Ontario (had to watch the whole procedure from close up, a bizarre and disturbing experience)

6 stiches from various orthopedic scopes/surgeries of both knees

36 staples from a total hip replacement

32 staples froma total knee replacement (full prosthetics on both meaning 5 signifigant chunks of stainless steel and 3 plastic pieces) so free massages at the airport everytime I fly

six stitches inside my mouth frome eating a ski on backcountry straps (I guess theres a reason no one uses those anymore LOL) also took out three teeth and fractured my maxilla (face bone) on that one. (and as a long term result, two more teeth have had to be removed and two more have broken off as a result)

I used to use superglue on a lot of minor cuts both wrenching and in the backcountry but converted to something called steri strips years ago when I was a firefighter - one of the best products ever - every guy here should have them in their first aid kit.  works as well as superglue but is alot easier to remove if its found a stich or two is required, not to mention dealing with an infection under superglued skin would be unpleasant to say the least.

I think I must be around 11 or 12 bones too over the years LOL
