Far too many to list, but here\'s a sample:

Slammed a car door shut on the tip of my thumb. (This was a 1960\'s British Ford Consul and really solidly built as well).

Dropped a 2400 Foot Computer tape weighing about 2 Kilos off the top of a tape drive onto my big toe. Height of drive 6 feet. Tape landed edge first, I\'m wearing trainers. You can guess the rest.

Ran my thumb through a V-belt drive. I was very afraid to pull my leather gloves off for fear that the thumb would stay in the glove. Kinda neat to watch the joint work, but having it scrubbed out before stitches was not fun.

Put a pinky through a router at a router table while putting an ogee on a board.

One day I\'ll learn that guards have a purpose.

Far too many to mention them all but some of the \'dumber\' ones;

Drilling into a door to fix a lock on and drilled straight through and into my thumb that was holding the door on the other side, thus pinning my thumb to the door. I had to somehow reverse the drill with my \'free\' hand and drill it out.

Ten stitches in my hand when the razor blade slipped that I was cutting open a bottle of Tippex with (don\'t ask).

Probably the funniest was throwing something out of my car window (I wasn\'t littering) and closing the electric window with my other hand while my fingers were still out of the car. I had to drive along steering with one hand while my other hand was across in front of me wedged in the window, until my (now hysterical ((with laughter)) wife managed to calm down enough to free me.

But the list is endless (and legendary in our family)

On a stupidity note, I opened the fridge door yesterday looking for some fresh chicken, but couldn\'t find it. I thought my girlfriend had put them in the freezer (just got back from shopping) so I gripped what I thought was the freezer door at the bottom of the fridge-freeer and pulled quite hard (you know what freezer doors can be like). I was bent down at the time and as I swung the door I felt a massive pain in my head. Turns out I\'d grabbed the fridge door instead and beaten myself about the head with it. I was dazed.

Dropped a big pointy knife on my toe two weeks ago as well. Sorted!

My best one though was playing football with the wrong shoes on and losing nigh on a whole layer of skin from the soles of my feeties. I couldn\'t walk the next day. Or the week after for that matter lol

Let\'s just hope that happens before you run out of fingers.

Only thing I can think of off hand is when I was changing the rear-view mirror on my old VW bug. Wanted to reuse the screw and it was really tight so I held the mirror in my left hand and pushed real hard on the screwdriver with my right hand - which slipped, pushing the screwdriver into the palm of my hand. Nice scar there now.
