What’s the oddest injury you’ve ever had? I’m a lightning rod for odd injuries. Just today I noticed a small cut on the tip of my middle finger. It’s similar to a paper cut, but I’m positive I’d recall having gotten one of those.
After discussing the injury with Studly Doright I’ve decided it’s probably a flossing related injury. Yes, my desire for good dental hygiene is injurious to my health. Go figure.
I might live longer, but at what cost?
Peace, people.
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Doing the best I can with what I have
kind of sad, but not so bad with cheese. cheese not provided.

Praying for Eyebrowz 
In a rugby match some 40 years ago I and a team-mate simultaneously dived on the ball. He got the ball; I got a broken finger. I tied it to the next one with a bootlace and continued the game. I have never been able to bend that digit again

I’m pretty sure it’s from my flossing habit. And I’m glad to be remembered no matter what the reason!

I definitely can see getting a cut from flossing. I think I’ve done the once. My most ridiculous injury was dropping a hot cut of tea on my foot and burning it. I was sick as the dogs at the time with a horrible cold! – Marty

One wonders what is more painful a paper cut or a floss cut? Floss on average is quite a bit thicker?

Paper cuts hurt worse, I think. I didn’t even know I had a cut until I picked up something with salt on it.

Last summer I broke my toe stubbing it on my daughters art kit that she left on the hotel floor while we were on vacation….But I heard that happened to the Vikings a lot, too.

Yes, the Vikings would’ve totally ruled the world had it not been for frequent toe stubbings.
