I recently removed part of my thumb with a bread knife. Sporting such an injury seems to concentrate ones clumsiness - I have re-injured the digit many times in a surprising number of ways and made it far worse.
A few years ago, i took a summer field class. Because it was a field class, we naturally loaded the back of the van with beer. Well, the professor opened the back door, and one six pack came tumbling out. No problem, I just started picking up the broken glass, and first thing you know, I sliced my thumb open. No problem, I just applied a bandaid, once the profuse bleeding had ebbed enough to apply a bandaid...
Nothing remarkable there then.
Now, my subsequent accuracy in cutting that same wound open repeatedly over the next several weeks-- every time I used a kitchen knife, basically-- that was truly remarkable.
