Just over a year ago I torn a tendon off my elbow at work and missed the best sailing time of the year! Last week I had a tussle with a shovel and now my Gath hat won't fit! This time next year I am going to be REALLY careful!

At first I thought you did it trying a Spock.

Best wishes for a fast recovery though mate.

Thank god for that! I read the title wrong there for a bit & thought I had stumbled on some weird fetish site!

Nasty ear gash, although you could let it heal that way & be trendy with those kids & the tarp eyelets in their lobes!

I'll call a spade a spade, cause digging for earwax with a shovel is just plain silly

Sorry couldn't help myself.

PS - If you squint at the screen your ear looks like Admiral Ackbar

Please go to a professional next time you want a piercing. Or at least, use a sharp, sterile shovel.
