Once I got a splinter in my finger. It didnt hurt so much but then a few days later it started to throb. Turned out a small piece of wood was still lodged in there and had infected it. Hurt like a sonofabitch I can tell you. I have tears in my eyes just thinking about it.
It was worth every agonising moment tho - because now I get to share the information with you, my dear chums, at KMC. Never underestimate how much those little slivers can hurt. I think more people need to be educated on how painful this sort of thing can be. possibly a documentary of some description, or a web page with animated gifs.
See now here I am just starting the "beware of splinters - they are no joke!" campaign and in you waltz with that "They are almost as good as sex" routine.
How foolish does that make me look? Did you think about that before posting? Did you? No. No you didn't. Go to your room and think about that.
Truth says Mr. Zero. And it doesn't hurt that bad, you just gotta pretend it doesn't hurt and THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS. That, or a ton of ice while you pull.

*goes to his room* I wonder if Zero realized that I was speaking of the sliver exiting the body, not the painful entry he was speaking of, of which I fully agree *kneels and prays to Satan* Dear Satan, please punish me for my sin. Spank me, Satan . . . spank me!
I love the sympathy and am all over the "0" thing like white on rice, but in fact I made this whole story about getting a splinter up because I was bored of reading about vulvas. Dont tell.
I would like to thank Mr. Zero for this wonderful thread. I agree that it is high time the world be educated about all the trouble splinters cause thousands of people every single day!
