I have bullshit stories for a couple of mine, which usually gets the response "Really!?" to which I say "No", or "Bullshit!" to which I say yes.
Worked with a guy who had a glass eye or patch depending on how he was feeling, who had a cracking long winded story if anyone asked, which didn't include him losing the eye, but involved him upsetting a gypsy, if further enquiries were made about how he lost the eye, he would reply, "If you upset a gypsy they never forgive, so you have to keep an eye out for him."

Got loads on my fingers/hands/wrists. Sheet thin gauge stainless steel is ****ing sharp.
One on left inner forearm after I fell off a ladder and landed on said ladder.
A few on the shins from MTB pedals
One above my right eyebrow from a wayward ice hockey stick.
2 rows of 3 1cm scars on my left knee cap trying to run up the down escalators at the old Churchill Sq and tripping up and trying to crawl the last few to get to the top. (That involved lots of doctors trips as you can imagine just how dirty those stairs were).
And although not a scar I don't have a left middle finger print after I tried picking up a hot piece of metal at work and literally burnt it off.

I've got several scars from having moles cut out.
Back in 97 I just finished playing squash and getting changed when some random bloke said to me "ooo you better get that checked out" I said "what you talking about?" he said "That mole on your back, it doesn't look right. My dad had a mole like that and it turned out to be cancerous"
So being in my mid 20's I said thanks and ignored him, however I did go to the Doctors a month later, just because I couldn't stop thinking about what he said.
So I saw a specialist and he said "Yes we'll cut that out, and also the one on your arm as I don't like the look of that one"
Anyway after being cut and they got checked, I got called back and he said "The one on your back is fine, however the one on your arm is a bit dangerous (a malignant melanoma) and it's spread so we need to cut more of your skin" Thankfully the next removal got all of it. So over the years I've been vigilant in looking for different shaped moles, if I see one I get it cut out. Luckily though all fine since.
However if it wasn't for that bloke saying that to me, I have no doubt I would have died from skin cancer probably a few years after.

TEN ? You, lucky, lucky *******... According to more than one doctor I have the worse case ever know. I've been awarded a job at a medical school. Not while I'm alive though...
No, I've got scores of them. One or two were causing difficulties on the chest bone and inside elbow and getting sore. So they were removed after I kept belly aching about it.
It's normally a private medical thingy as the NHS won't do it, only under certain conditions. Privately it's normally a good few hundred quid to remove a couple or so. Mine would cost many thousands. I'm past caring really. I'm sure there are many folk who'd prefer to have lipomatosis as their chief medical concern.

Famous Last Words
I was visiting a friend at Chichester Uni on the weekend of my 21st birthday. We were off to the SU and my mate said he knew a shortcut which might require us to climb over a fence but it shaved a load of time off the journey. We get there and the fence is a lot higher than I realise, but we clamber over it and carry on. About 10 seconds later someone tells me that my legs bleeding. Look down expecting a graze and just see blood pouring out a hole in my jeans. Turns out I'd taken a chunk out of my leg on the way over the fence.
The worst part was the fence we'd climbed over was the back of Chichester hospital so we had to go all the way round.
Told my mates to go out, but one came back with me to A&E. It turns out my leg was bleeding so much that I had to be cut out of my jeans before they could even look at the cut. Me and my pal were waiting for ages and realised our drunken mucking about; whilst innocent, was probably quite annoying for the A&E staff so I decided if it was serious they'd have seen me by now - so we went back to his house and kept on drinking instead. Still got the scar on my leg, probably the size of a 10p and 5p coin next to each other, probably should have got stiches really.

Cool story bro
Seriously this is a good post and good advice about getting moles checked. I asked for advice at the hospital about a mole when I was seeing the skin specialist about something else.
I also had a Lipoma ( fatty lump ) at the top of my leg at the back, I got it checked by my doctor and was told it was nothing to worry about but could have it removed if I wanted.
A few years later I bought some new work trousers and they were uncomfortable next to the lump, I went back to the doctors and asked about an operation to get it removed.
I was on the operating table waiting for the surgeon and the nurse said he’s a bit stroppy, he marched in an told me I didn’t need it cut out and why was I worried, he did do the op though.
I then got a call from the doctor to say they needed to cut more out as they had suspected it could be cancerous.

I was fortunate with my mole in that it was easy to see (calf)..but having had many procedures for sorting out low grade skin cancers I’m always checking….the mole scared me a bit when a Macmillan nurse got involved

Above hairline: slice from buckle during bag fight, nick from goalpost collapsing on head, nick from brick falling 1 storey onto head, various tears from prolonged booting by 2para.
Forehead: Harry potter scar from flying headbutt to corner of building age 8?
Scar by temple from van door opened onto me at speed.
A few others I've forgotten.
Scar on wrist from playing game with a knife, looked like decent suicide attempt but wasn't. Scars further up from catching forearm in packing machinery.
Further various scars on arms from burbs and carelessness near sharp things.
Interesting scar on thumb where I cut it deep in one direction and superglued it myself then a week later cut the same thumb even deeper causing a big flap to curl over and then fork in two along the line of original cut.
Big scar on shoulder. Origin unknown.
It doesn't improve much as we go down so I'll stop.

Cancer, left tonsil.
That scar is from having my lymph nodes removed.
It is still completely numb above the scar until half way up my cheek. But , it’s better than the alternative.

24 stitches and ten inch scar on one shin
30 and 12 inch scar on the another
Several on forehead and chin.
4 inch scar on knee from being stabbed with a screwdriver by a pikey.
5 inch scar on side
Two 7 inch scars on my right shoulder.
Inch scar on right forearm from dog bite
Got most through stunt work, security work and rock climbing mishaps. Only one that gives me gip is the knee and am going to have to get some scar tissue cut away at some point. Other than that, I don’t think about the others much.
