Thread: Yikes!!

Always look at the bright side of things. This cut could be a great conversation starter.
"Hey dude, that's a huge gash."
Yeah.., you know I shave with a straight razor. Smoothest shaves ever but an occasional cut is a fair price to pay IMO." &c., &c.

I prefer to say something like, It happened while tackling a fleeing bank robber with sharp fingernails.

Those physical wounds that some end up with through the path of life are a great template for some good old story telling.. And the bigger the scar the bigger the story..
I was in an accident about 13yrs ago and my lower part of left leg didnt fair well against steel.. For around 14-16 months after the accident it was a rotating door through the surgery unit.. After about 5th surgery and more on the way I turned to my wife and said that's it the next surgery is taking this leg off and we're not turning back its forward time. Next surgery left lower leg amputation and 63 days later I jumped out of that plane at 18,000ft and while floating down on a gorgeous July day o
Looking out at crystal blue Lake Michigan and other side the postcard picture views of the rolling landscape of inland northwest lower michigan.. I said welcome f#%king back!! Jesus! Sorry guys I went way off topic there..
Back to it.. I have some buddies that use this story almost everytime for 12yrs when someone new will see me in my shorts and prost leg.. The story goes that I started poking around a.Hells Angel's otld lady even though these 2 had warned me not too.. But me being.the dummy I am I didnt listen.. After leaving Cali it was a few months later that I got a surprise few visitors in the porch it was time to pay the piper so to speak.. But I was lucky because instead of the reaper it will be much better with lifelong reminder who I fucked with And at this time it's almost always omg they cut your leg off!! And how they did it my buddies have changed up baut it is mostly everyone there got to curb stomp my leg with Crazy Carl,Psycho, Snake and whatever other name---- they came up with who's old lady had hooked up with..
And no joke it's probabbeen told about 30-35 times and it is like watching kids being.read a story...I promise you I am not making this up.. It has worked on every single dude and probably about 4 women have called Bullshit but a good story.... It has no doubt been helped by the fact that both my buddies are great story tellers and I play along with it quite well also... Holy crap I sure didnt plan on that going for so long...Sorry.guys

Too small and not heroic enough
Try saying it happened saving a vestal virgin from a rabid gang of 20 hardened escaped convicts.

Yep. They'll getcha. Got the scars to prove it.

No matter how many years or how many shaves you've done in your life that bad shaves do happen..
Cant blame on razor because I used a Bartmann 504 that when used last week felt like the whiskers just wiped off..

From your facial expression, one could hardly be blamed for thinking you are proud of your wound. You look joyful, positively ecstatic. Be careful. I hate to think of the consequences of a serious shaving cut addiction.

Give yourself a matching cut on the other cheek and you can start repeating: "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

My goodness, were you and some buddies going four wheeling and you decided to freshen up a bit? Thats a nasty bite.

I just now came back here and looked at those pics for the 1st time since post.. From some of your responses I thought well we all get ourselves every once in a while but no biggie... And then I looked and said Holy Sheet!! know i get it.. From my angle of shot and turn of the head that damn thing looks as though I filleted a 5inch surgical cut!!
I'm sorry fella's but it was a pretty good divot from the top and the rest is the blood trail down from that.. I have to say I for sure would not have such a no big deal or proud look on my face.. Certainly a novice compared to a lot of you guys but have at least a 1000 shaves in and if I had actually sliced myself that bad I would have put the straights to rest and went to DE's..
My bad... Be safe and healthy all..
