I have a silvery scar on one index finger from when the blade skidded off the pan forte...

I am so proud of my friends. It was New Year's and we were bound to see The Fellowship of the King (this event was some years ago.) And, given I was bleeding like a stuck pig, the designated first aider of the group put butterfly bandages on the finger, and said apologetically that it would scar.

No-one dreamed to suggest anyone needed to miss the show. Though it was a horridly bleeding cut.
