MY SCARS.
1- location: right ankle
shape: crescent
size: .5''x.8"
color: white
orgin: a ceramic soapdish snapped off the wall of katelyn's old shower when i put my foot on it to wash my toes. the goddamned thing fell on my ankle and sliced it open so deep that i could clearly see my ankle bone. i didnt have insurance, so i put a bandaid on it and hoped for the best.
2-location: right shin
shape: just like Sardinia
size: 2"x1"
color: purplish
orgin: in 8th grade i tried to jump onto a lab table without using my hands. i left a wad of skin on the table edge and freaked out all the girls in the class. then i bled all over my new sox.
3- location: all over pelvic region, front and back
shape: slug shaped
size: varies, average 8"x1.5"
color: white
4- location: inside left bicep
shape: torpedo shaped with stitch marks visible lateraly
size: 2"x5"
color: dark purple
orgin: climbed a baseball backstop at cub scout camp (literaly the minute i got there). tried to reach over the top to grab a birds nest, and my feet slipped. the top of the chain link went into my arm and actually suspended me for a few seconds before i fell. when i got up i looked at my arm and there was fat pouring out of it, which is just disgusting if youve ever seen it. i then proceded to bleed all over the back of the scoutmasters car as he rushed me to the er, where a visible drunk orderly sewed me up. he did such a horrible job you can still see the stitch marks 20 years later. capital.
5- location: both armpits
shape: same as 4
size: same as 4
color: varies dramatically for some reason
orgin: i was in florida in 1991 and an aligator tried to eat a small puppy right in front of me. i was able to get the puppy away from the gator, but not without a fight. unfortunately, the puppy and the aligator both died, and i nearly bled to death and had to live off of rotten vegetation for a week as i dragged myself out of the swamp using only my chin. or, same as 4.
6- location left middle finger, tip
size: tiny
shape: like a tiny smile
color: barely visible.
orgin: i was building a dormer on a house in '01 and i got careless (i.e. stoned) with the nailgun and wound up with a 5" framing spike through my finger. i couldnt pull it out, so i cut the skin around it with my utility knife and it fell out. luckily, it was a brand new, galvanized nail. i didnt have insurance so i put duct tape on it and then went home, washed it out, and bandaided it. it healed suprisingly well and the scar is now so faint that i sometimes forget which hand its on.
well, thats it. i thought i had more than that. maybe i do and ive forgotten some. maybe not. the truth is i dont care, im bored. im going home in 15 minutes to drink a beer and then fall asleep so i can wake up and come back to work. god bless the republic. god damn the state.

Boy, you must have been bored! Funny thing, I have a scar on my ankle too from a ceramic soap dish snapping off of a shower wall. Mine happened when I was in 2nd grade or something and I was using the soap dish as a handle so that I could "ski" from side to side in the bath tub.
Oh yeah, it's my right ankle too
