questionoftheday: What was the dumbest, most embarrassing injury you ever obtained?
I'm not actually embarrassed by it, but it does make for a funny story. I did marching band in high school and undergrad, specifically color guard for most of those years. One time in high school I was showing off some big tosses in my yard, lost the rifle in the sun, and stepped backward to safety -- except I had apparently also angled the toss back and promptly took a rifle butt between the eyes.
It's the only time I had to have stitches (that I remember; I had surgeries when I was still an infant), and I still have a faint scar from it between my eyes. (By far the least noticeable of my facial scars, but I'll talk about the others another time.) And I get a lot of mileage from the story.
I still have the rifle, too. The blood-stained tape is long gone.
