How about when Michael Jordan cut his finger with cigar cutter–what did he use, a week whacker/ (most cutters have enclosed V blade) ---

I’m going to revive this thread just to say: I am reading a 700-page novel I got from the library. I went to pick up the book a couple of days ago and somehow sprained the crap out of my right middle finger doing so. Now I can’t even flip the bird at that stupid book! ---

I recently sneezed, unaware,and did something to my neck. It’s not real painful. More tight. I have a feeling I’m not gonna be rubberneckin’ fun things happening along the road for awhile. Whiplashed myself, I guess. ---

When I was maybe 8 or 9 years old, we were visiting our cousin’s farm. The men were shooting arrows at a target attached to a haystack. My job was to run over to the target and retrieve the arrows. At some point, for reasons I don’t recall, I was standing next to the haystack, stabbing each arrow from the bundle in my hand downward into the haystack. With one stab, I missed the haystack and jammed the arrow directly into my leg. I still have the scar. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-injuries/921627.md?page=3)
