Physical scars ( @ Cobol) - starting from the top:
small scar in my hairline from a branch. Hitting a tree at full gallop will leave you on the ground (if you've seen the Thelwell cartoons where the pony leaves the kid on the tree - that was me). I was maybe 10? Happened again when I was in my 20s, almost identical place - impact site on my head that is. No evident scar the second time around.
Inside of top lip - brother kicked me in the face. Cut my lip on my teeth. Lots of blood, but it didn't stop us fighting. I think I was about 12.
Neck - few small scars where skin tags have been removed - teenage years. I used to piss the surgeon off who was doing them - I wouldn't breathe while he was cutting them off. He kept thinking I would faint.
I just told him to slice faster.
Few scars on my hands from animal teeth - cats, dogs, horses. Also barbed wire (damn whomever invented it!)
Not your traditional scar, but more minor pebbling of skin - came off my horse when I was breaking him in. Landed on a pile of gravel, lost all the skin from just behind my left shoulder, down my side to my upper thigh, a little on my stomach, and about 3/4 the width of my back. I had to be held down and scrubbed to get all the crap out of the wound, no pain relief. Luckily didn't have to have skin grafts. But had the biggest scab ever!!!
Three little scars on my knee from an arthroscopy surgery to remove cartlidge from my knee about 10 years ago.
@ Sarnya - my bro has the same thing, except they went for his back three times, and used both hips as donor sites.
