That's pretty funny [laugh] Luckily I've been working in the medical field for a long time, so that doesn't bug me. I had to do an incision and drainage on an infected cuticle my wife had the other day. That was definitely less pleasant for her than me, but it worked.
I was pretty lucky in that the first time I launched a bugger at myself, it hit me in the shoulder, and just the point got me, but not the barb. Maybe ten years later I had forgotten that valuable lesson and launched one into the back of my head. It must have come head first, because it just hurt like mad, but nothing stuck in.
I have had a couple of hooks in my fingers, but they were both while handling fish. One was all the way to the bend of the hook, and straight down into the crook of my thumb. I had to get it cut out. Fun times.
