A guy I work with was changing the clutch in his work truck over the weekend. He was tightening the bolts on the bell housing when the wrench slipped. The open end hit his upper lip and split it in two. I mean laid it open where it needed stitches. Instead of going to the doctor to have it sewn up he sewed it up with needle and thread himself. It was the most ugly looking mess I ever saw. But it healed up and you can only see a small scar now.
I accused him of back talking his wife and her throwing a shoe at him. He said he only wished. He said he might have been able to block the shoe.

When I first strated working on cars all I could aford was one of those little Tiawan made socket sets. Still have the scars on my knuckles (al of them) to prove it. When I got my first crafsman set,, I was like " I wonder why the socket isn't flexing? shouldn't it be flexing about 3 inches?"
Once was working under a car, 5.0, changing the xsmission fluid, right under the fill hole w/pump, jammed in there, couldn't move, overfilled the hole one pump, got a mouth full of synthetic dextron III....

I was doing some lost wax casting in high school when I burned some melted molding wax into the back of one of my fingers (the stuff melts at a much higher temperature than regular ol' candle wax). It took over a year for all of the wax to work out of the wound, allowing it to finally close permanently. Before that, it would heal over then crack back open a few days later, since it had actually gotten into the tissue under the skin level.

I think my experience can top that. I was under a car using a acetylene torch to burn of a piece of metal and a couple large blobs of molten steel bounced off of the frame and landed on my pants right by my zipper going clear through and landing on old Henry. I was out of commision for a couple of weeks.
