Soccerdad1995, I feel your pain.

Two stories:

About ten years ago when we were stationed on Guam, I received a nice titanium dive knife for fathers day. I commented that it looked really sharp. Don't know why but I lightly ran my finger down the edge. Boy was I right about it being sharp. Didn't go deep, but it sure didn't take much pressure to cut. My wife gave me that "what were you thinking" look.

Second story is more recent and involved my chainsaw. It was not running. I had just finished cleaning it and had just put the bar and chain back on. After tightening the bar nuts, I let go of the nose of the bar. It was perched on the edge of my tailgate and started to tip forward and fall off the tailgate. Without thinking I reached down to catch it. I caught it alright, two teeth went down my middle finger, starting bleeding pretty good. That chainsaw sharpening jig I bought is a real winner. Taught me to not forget my leather gloves.

I've had quite a few other cuts and scrapes over the years that I am surprised that I still have 10 fingers.
