Post the stupidest injury you have ever had here. I'll go first...

Today... I was fixing myself a bowl of Maruchan ramen. I spice it up and make it like a poor man's gourmet ramen(because I am a poor man, lol...) And, now listen here. This is where I tell you I am a dumb smart person. I tested in the 99th percentile in the country. Yet, I filled the water too much, and my thumb was partially in the bowl. So now my thumb has a severe second-degree burn on it... I bet yours can't be worse than mine.
I set myself on fire making top ramen once by dragging my shirt over the burner. I nearly burned down the kitchen.

So you're the inspiration for that ancient joke? "Waiter, your thumb's in my soup!" "It's all right sir; it's not hot."

On my annual two week 'get away from all the crazy people' hike in the Talkeetna mountains, managed to cut my finger to the bone with a camp axe :rolleyes: . Sewed it up with 1 lb fly line and copious amounts of Jim Beam (anesthetic and sterilizer, all in one!):cool: Then walked out to civilization to get it fixed by a real doctor, who looked at it and told me come back in a week to take the fly line out.
Thar's only two possibilities: Thar is life out there in the universe which is smarter than we are, or we're the most intelligent life in the universe. Either way, it's a mighty sobering thought. (Porkypine - via Walt Kelly)

I used to ride Moto Guzzi bikes, which are ... um ...different, particularly as far as brakes go. Most bikes have a foot lever which operates the back brake only, and a hand lever which operates the font disks. But Guzzis are different: the hand lever operates on done disk, and the foot lever operates the other front disk plus the back one - with most of the braking effort going to the front as you'd expect. Once you are used to it, it's a brilliant setup: you can literally stand on the rear brake lever and the bike will stop impressively quickly. And when I put it in for service they used to lend me a Ducati for the day. Which doesn't have linked brakes. So when I pulled away from the lights in traffic on a wet road and the car ahead hit his brakes, I stood on the rear lever, locked the rear wheel slid sideways (at about 10 mph) tapped the central reservation curb and fell off. And broke my collar bone. It cost me £1500 in parts to put the bike right, but I had to have a plate put in which I did via Bupa and it cost another £2500. And the op gave me a frozen shoulder which lasted four years and meant I couldn't travel, type work a mouse, or even wipe my own ass with my right hand ... Stupid? Oh yes. All my fault? Oh yes. And now, over twenty years later my right shoulder still isn't fully normal!

sometimes i sit with one foot tucked under the opposite leg (half cross-legged). so my right ankle was tucked under my left leg. but this time, the tendons must've been stretched or moved out of normal alignment somehow. and when i stood up, i couldn't put any weight on my right foot at all. took weeks to be able to walk normally again. and that ankle is still weak, two years later.

That joke is probably older than me... But no it wasn't hot, it was boiling! :laugh:

Amazing. Sounds like you somehow managed to disjoint your ankle. While sitting.
