How it feels to get shot.

Not saying I'd volunteer for a head wound, but it probably isn't as painful as it is potentially deadly and/or debilitating.

I spilt open my right eyebrow in a sports related rage one time, and I had no idea that it happened. It didn't hurt at all, and (after I woke up) I was really confused when my teammates told me that there was no way in hell that I could continue the game and that I had to go get stitches. If it hadn't been for all the blood, I wouldn't have believed them. The stitches didn't hurt either. The hangover the next day did.
The GP that stitched me up really should rethink his calling and go into plastic surgery. You can't see the two inch scar unless you're really looking. And it's not because of any surrounding wrinkles.
