Five stiches and a splint to keep me from moving the stitches too much. My knife slipped while poking a hole for a straw in a chocolate milk bottle for orclette.
Sub-Teach, On monday, I had about 80% of this written as a reply to your comment before I figured I should just drop it into a post. Yay for thought spam from simple commentary. To be clear: I'm not anti-our-current-president. I didn't like his solution for the recession(the bailout(which was started by our previous president)) but I'm certainly not blaming the recession on him. I understand that it was my dear party that thought you could spend AND cut taxes at the same time. I'm not really in favor of the way in which the other party wants to extend the tax cuts(cutting some and not others). I would rather we let all of the tax cuts expire and everyone equally paid a little bit more. BUT I'm really not happy with the idea that we can extend all of them when we are in record levels of national debt, which is what my party espouses. No our current president didn't have much time to fix the economy...and any good/harm he did probably won't be evident

When I finally rolled a 6 and leaped into the middle to take my turn at the block of chocolate, I'd already decided brute strength was the order of the day. Reversing my grip on the knife I stabbed it down into the block and shattered it into multiple pieces. I managed to scoop up one piece with the fork and got it into my mouth, then someone else rolled a 6 and replaced me and I returned to the outer circle, but with a mouthful of chocolate. Mission accomplished!
As the adrenaline of my moment in the middle subsided I realized my right hand was throbbing, and when I looked at it I saw a cut running across the width of my palm. Although the knife had no serrations, with the blade of the knife being wider than the hilt there was a sharp corner of pointed steel where the two met. As I'd driven the knife into the block of chocolate my hand had slipped downward off the hilt and onto the blade, passing over this 90-degree, sharp corner of steel, opening up a lengthy and painful but fortunately not too deep cut the width of my palm.
I got a bandaid for my booboo, but you look like you got yourself a good deal better than I did.
Was this one of those small bottles of chocolate milk like you get in McDonalds, with the foil cap? I use a pen to poke a hole in the foil. It makes a perfect straw-sized hole and helps to reduce spills, both chocolate milk and blood ;)
