I was working on my van engine once and a gust of the wind caused the bonnet to slam down on my little finger and latch. It was stuck in a gap about 5mm wide. When somebody finally rescued me, my finger was a quarter of its normal thickess. Oddly, it was back to normal in 10 minutes and I never even had a bruise.bloggoth

I once caught me wotsit in my flies once, but never had a penknife handy to cut the blighter off. Had to make do with carefully unzipping it.
