Heh, I don't have any hard-core stories like that, but the one injury that I get to show off all the time is when I cut off half of a knuckle of my right-hand middle finger while washing a glass . Got to watch it go down the sink and everything. I was in fourth grade at the time; I called for my mom like, "Hey mom, c'mere, I'm kinda sorta hurt."
Her: "Oh just hold on a second, I'm doing laundry."
Me: "Erm. No. I'm really hurt."
Her: "Jesus Christ, fine." *throws down laundry basket, walks over to sink*
Me: "Sorry, but uh..."
Her: "Just let me hold in under the faucet.."
*The skin covering the knuckle flips back, giving a wonderful view*
Her: "Ah. Ok, time to go off to the hospital."
Me: Finally starts bawling at mention of hospital.
Four stitches was all I got for it, and now I have a cool rounded middle finger knuckle.
