I have a funny one. I once read in a mickey mouse magazine that teeth were the hardest substance in the human body.
I then proceeded to tell my sister to punch me in the teeth to test that-

We were doing frozen fruit races in my dorm (basically, someone bowls a frozen orange/grapefruit down the hall, and race it to the end, style points for catching it). I went for style points, slide to catch it, caught my bare foot under my leg, and gave myself a vicious rug burn all along the top of my foot.
The next day, I went to marching band in ankle deep rain (terrible drainage in the city I was in), and it got infected. My foot swelled to about 1/3 again it's size, and I couldn't get a shoe on for two months. Got a pretty nice scar out of the deal.
Once I was working at a summer camp as a counselor when I was in my early 20s and it was at the end of the season so it was one final week without any kids for us to all just chill out. I was by myself out at the swimming area on the lake and I decided to dive off the other side of the dock (outside the swimming area) and swim down to the bottom of the lake. What I didn't realize was that there was a large concrete pipeline running right there and as I swam down I smacked my head right into it pretty hard. Stunned me pretty good for a bit, but fortunately not long enough for me to drown!

My brother was sitting on the ground, doing some electronic stuff i guess
I stood on his soldering iron. Instant 2nd degree burns on the sole of my foot.
When my brother was about... 2 or 3 I guess based on where we were living? My dad was grilling on the patio and spilled the hot coals by accident. He told everyone to stay inside but my brother toddled right out and immediately stepped bare-footed on a hot briquette.
Did you also by any chance jump through a window chasing a football or fall off a diving board and break your head? Or have a guy in cleats step on and break your hand? Because if so you might be my sibling.

When I was really tiny and toddling around, I pulled a cup of hot coffee off a table and it poured all over me.
It required a lot of fixing, let's just say. The doctors and nurses all knew me by the time it was done, and to this day there's still a bumpy patch of skin on my arm where something fucked up in the process.
My brother did the same but with a pan full of grease. It melted the skin and shit on his arm and for the rest of his life he had this wild scar on his arm that looked all melted and swirled and stuff. I thought it was pretty cool, actually
sure is a lot of past tense in there...

I almost drowned at a cubscout camp once. We were walking around in the shallows of a river and I misstepped and slipped into a deep section.
My boots were so heavy and sodden, they were weighing me down so that I couldn't reach the surface. When they pulled me out I was unconscious!
Oh I just remembered a few good ones. When I was younger I hated baths, like most kids, so getting me in the tub was... a chore, to put it lightly. I ended up putting my hand on the track that the doors slid on (tub/shower combo) intending to pull myself out, mom doesn't notice, and suddenly I don't have a finger nail on my index finger. Maybe a month later I'm cramming my brother in a cupboard (we didn't get along very well), he gets out and slams my hand in the door. Same nail, gone! You know how celebrity deaths come in threes? So does fingernail loss-- hand got caught in a heavy door at my school, same fucking nail.
Took a pretty good lump the last time I went skiing, too. I don't know if any of you have been to Kirkwood, specifically the Red Mountain section of it, but the Whiskey run goes from a pretty steep angle to flat very quickly. I didn't bring the tips of my skiis high enough, so of course they lodged in the ground. My 200 pound ass had a lot of momentum at this point, so I hit the ground pretty hard and rolled another ten feet. My reaction after I rolled on to my back was a little like this from :04 on.
Also hi Keith
edit- also add me to the no-broken-bone club, which is surprising because I should've broken my elbow on several occasions.

I keep slicing my fingers and thumb on my right hand open unlocking the bathroom door at my house. Apparently the previous owner decided that instead of getting a door handle with a lock built-in he'd just attach the worlds smallest sliding latch. Couple that with the fact that you can't unlock the door unless you're pushing on it means I usually try and do it one-handed and end up gouging chunks out of fingers / thumbs on the sharp metal of the latch casing.
I don't think anyone else can compare with these injuries. They're pretty bad-ass.

Being 8 sucked for me.
1: My eldest brother threw me into a metal bedframe. Fractured Tailbone.
2: My eldest brother (A pattern emerges) shoot a marble into my left eye. No permanent damage but my eye was blood red for about a month afterwards.
3: Was stabbed by a kid at school with a screwdriver. In the back. Don't remember much of it.
In High School I tore the cuticles off my right middle finger and it got infected. Had to have it ripped out. Took a swing at the doctor while he doing it.

when I was a young'n, I was climbing on top of a like, drainage overflow concrete thing
and fell off and hit my head and got knocked out and when I woke up it was dark and I was all bloody and crying and I was walking home and saw my dad driving
and he was like "go home and tell your mom I have to go to the library"
A few days ago, I was eating some hot links and accidentally bit into my upper lip, hard. Curse my fat lips. Still kinda hurts, plus that area got a teeny bit swelled so I have to be careful that it doesn't catch on my upper tooth again 'til the swelling goes down.
Despite using flip-flops in the gym shower, I think I've got Athlete's Foot again. Thanks a bunch, all of you nasty fucks that don't clean your feet and walk all over the locker room, including the toilet area, barefoot.

also I remember when I had my wrist in a cast, it was right when fable 1 came out
I played that game even though it was uncomfortable and my wrist healed kind of bent on the side
When I was younger I was walking barefoot through a creek and stepped on a broken bottle. A piece of glass got lodged into my heel and I was too much of a wuss to pull it out. So I just left it there, eventually it healed over and for years if I pressed onto my heel just the right way I could feel it. It didn't hurt, that stopped after about a month. Years later it seems to have gone? I cant feel it anymore or anything, would my body have broken it down or something?

Um... don't think so. Not glass anyway. It may have reoriented so that you're stepping on the flat part now instead of on edge. And your heel isn't very malleable, so you may not be able to feel it if it isn't too big.

I thought we agreed to never see each other again
That likely hurt pretty sharply for about an hour, and now, just itches like a bitch.
