Medic!

I'd like to be able to say that my first injury requiring stitches was the result of a knife fight or protecting my girlfriend or something, but in reality the lone attacker was a blue drinking glass.

That little mundane drinking device did a number on my hand, though. One big inch-long cut on the outside pad of my right hand and one smaller cut on the outside knuckle of my pinky, requiring four stitches in each wound.

The sympathy I've gotten (I called my mom for that sole purpose) has been pretty good. Not sure if it's worth all the trouble, though. Brushing your teeth with your off-hand is harder than you think. And I won't even get into going to the bathroom.
