Very unmanly burn injury

I carelessly badly burned the top of my right middle finger today when I somehow placed it right into the molten icing of a freshly toasted Pop Tart.  I'm going to have a huge scar on my hand from a POP TART?!  I have sports scars all over, my leg, neck, forearm, eyebrow, and this one is by far the un-manliest scar I've ever heard of. 

In short, beware of Pop Tarts, and other like pouch foods such as burritos, hot pockets, and knishes.

Anyone else have a supremely lame burn/scar/injury you'd like to share and make me feel less stupid?

one of the best things to put on a burn is sliced raw potato. (1st or 2nd degree) I know it sounds bizarre -- but it works.  Over the years due to TIG and O/A welding, I've incurred some horrific burns due to the torch itself or after while touching red/white hot metal.  Trick was learned from people I know in the glass blowing industry.  I have very minimal scar tissue thankfully to this alone since using.

If it's a 3rd degree / black torched skin burn, the above works for awhile.  But get the fire / trauma burn victim medical paste to help heal faster and make sure the wound is properly cleaned. (which an be mind numbingly painful thing to do)

My trick was to stop touching white hot metal  ;D

nope cant say that i do, all my scars are very manly and each one has a very tragic but happy story to it. like the time i jumped in a burning school bus that was sinking to the bottom of a lake to rescue a lol boy from drowning.   i was only wearing shorts at the time and the hot exhaust pipe touched my inner right calf... now i have a nice oval scar that will always remind me of the time i jumped in a river to rescue a lil girl from drowning  [thumbsup]
it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.

A tea bag soaked in cold water will also make the hurting stop.

Don't know why.  A paper towel soaked in cold water doesn't work.  Add tea leaves and all's well.

Tea leaves have caffeine, a vaso constrictor that helps reduce swelling.

When I try that it just gets all crinkly, not to mention smaller. :D

In high school I knocked my pencil off of my drafting table. When I stood up after getting my pencil the corner of the table hit me in the middle of my back and I lifted the table an inch or so off the ground with my back. I still have a 2 inch wide scar in my back from the corner of that table.

the worst scar i have is actually a keloid from a boil i got when i was around 14.
i actually have a couple of those. people always ask what happened and expect some strange story because they stick out so far. ohh well.
