finger splinter. Owie.
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.
