Years ago I had a really, really bad hang nail.

I fell off a ladder which went through a window. Luckilly, I fell backward, not through the glass.

Oh, and my wife almost found out about my new Dovo.

Stray 9mm bullet a foot from my head when I was 14. Still have it on a keychain.

In the hospital for a couple of weeks septic with peritonitis at 15.

Mosquito bite when hunting in the woods at 16, ended up hospitalized with Hemorrhagic Fever, bleeding internally with hardly any platelets left.

A couple of knife fights till I was in my early twenties.

Raced against a *ickhead in an Aston Martin on a busy interstate at 120mph when I was ... well, last weekend.

Gun shot, in the back, through and through just below left shoulder blade on a very bad day in the nam, out in the parrots beak AO, late November 66.

Hit by a petrol tanker when i was 9 years old, broken jaw,nose,teeth smashed,top lip severed (120 stitches to reattach it) and in a coma for six weeks.
Head on with a car with my motorcycle, the car came round a bend on the wrong side of the road.Broken shoulder,wrist and unconsious for two days.
Waking up one sunday morning after consuming a bottle of suntory whiskey and a vindaloo curry, although at the time it seemed like a good combination?
