I just dropped a mechanical pencil from the desk onto my leg and embedded a piece of 0.7mm lead in my thigh.

I don't recommend you indulge in this behavior.

Kinda like when I dropped the X-Acto... yeesh.

 

[InnocentAngel81]

eww someone get some tweezers and a bandaid

 

[Sillyman]

I will endeavor to avoid such behaviour in the future madam.

Another good behaviour to avoid is allowing your sister to keep stacking her old shaving cream cans at the top of the shower door until one day you are assaulted by a rain of pink metal death from above while trying to jack off.

[DevilBoy79]

had a nail, stuck in my calf before, hurt like hell, feel your pain

 

[Liontamr]

Somewhere in my left heel is a tip of a broken off pencil that I stepped on while sleeping over at a friends place five years ago or so... It was so deep I couldn't get it out, but it didn't hurt enough to want to "dig" it out... So I left it in.

A small red dot remains as a scar.

[perks]

try a finger dipped in the fryer, it will make you forget a piece of lead, unless it's a bullet.

A foster mom a mine once told me that she stepped on a needle, broke it off in her right foot, and years later it poked out of her left foot. To this day I will not sew or get near a needle. And still believe it was true.

It couldn't be, right?

Plus Muffin, dint anyone in grade school tell you you could die from lead poisoning? So many things to worry about.

Things like glass & surgical steel can emerge from the body in time , but I think it must have been a faulty memory, a different needle, or the same needle eventually stuck in the other foot after removal or emergence from the right. To circulate to the other side it would pass through the heart, I find that implausible.

We call the insides of a pencil "lead" , but now they're made from graphite, just carbon in a carbon-based life form, not a toxic metal.

Too bad I wasn't there to stitch it for you.

It was Muff's point. In her thigh.

The "Fall on Your Ass and Slide Crotch First Into the Faucet" method actually. I shave standing up.

Now that I think about it...

I've had a number of sharp, foreign objects embedded in my body. *lol*
Small scissors in my upper thigh: forgot they were in my pocket, went to the bathroom... you get the idea. Lots of blood and crying.
Something similar to KM's predicament: She's right, it's not recommendable. My piece broke off. Left a blue dot of graphite for about 7 months, until it grew out.
A sewing needle: I remember calling a neighbour to come get it out for me, because I couldn't reach at that angle (and I can be a wuss). I thought he was a doctor and his wife a vet, so either could come over and I'd be set. Right? Well he came, fixed me up... and I later found out he's a publisher. *lol*
A paring knife in my hand: I don't remember all the details, 'cause I was five (or less), but I supposed I'm lucky I didn't damage any nerves.

As for not sharp, foreign objects... When I was three or four, for whatever reason, I stuck a button up my nose. *LOL* I don't remember why, but I remember my mom had to take me to the ER, 'cause she couldn't get it out with tweezers, or anything else. It was small and pink and opalescent. *shrug* (Anyone else do crazy things like this as a kid?)
