I'm sure I've posted this somewhere previously, but probably not in this injury thread.
Lathe-ing away at work doing final cuts and the swarf was coming off in long piano wire looking bits.
After each pass I was shutting off the lathe and carefully pinching the "piano wire" between thumb and pointer and lifting them off the lathe bed.
One of them slightly hooked up on something and gave me a slight paper cut on my pointer and in surprise I ripped my hand away and in the process sliced my middle 2/3rds of the way around.
Picture of the culprit paper cut.

Nice work. I got my middle finger caught in the chainring once - had my BMX upside down oiling the chain while turning the cranks and somehow my finger got caught - chainring tooth punched through nail and the chain locked it in wrapped over the pad of my finger. Luckily enough slack in the chain I guess that it didn't cut the whole end off...
The nail obviously fell off, and have grown crooked ever since.
Fingers REALLY hurt, lots of nerve endings....

Now that's more like it! I bet that tickled
And a nice Beaker impersonation!
Yeah did tickle a bit.
Still even now there are some "pins and needle" feeling spots on one side of my middle finger as the nerves haven't fulling recovered.

Before I looked at the spoilers I thought this was your injury.
I was going to comment saying that those paper cuts are the worst!

I'd flaunt it.
All this healing is making me very tired. I find myself sleeping a lot.
