The stupidest thing you've ever done with a knife.

First knife accidents. My Dad gave me a Western M49 Bowie, I oiled the blade, cut the fingerprint off my index finger... no blood. scared the bejeezus outta me. I respected knives a lot more after that :)
but not enough apparently.
Tried to pry off the rubber casing of a fish tank aerator with a cheap Scagel knockoff, slipped, oops. Still got that scar across my left index finger. My grandmother had to butterfly it. Boy was she mad :)

Funniest was when I was in a coffee house bathroom. Just finished my business, when I realized my back was itchy. I could just reach the spot but couldn't scratch it well. So, lemme use my Benchmade 970! So I hold my shirt up with one hand, and scratch my back using the knife edge, carefully... then my pants fall down, I try to grab them before my wallet tumbles into the john or something... and I embed the 970 an inch into my thigh. I staunch the bleeding with towels, waltz out and ask for a bandaid, and waltz back in to tape down wadded paper towel with a bandaid, until I can get home.
My ego is still scarred :)
 
Once I was filleting a bunch of nice fresh whole fish and started getting cocky about my skills with the blade, then looking at the finished product decided to cut some lemon disks for pretty presentation.

Slice, pretty and thin lemon disc...
Slice, pretty and thin lemon disc...
Slice, pretty and thin lemon disc... those look nice...
Slice and changed the handle alignment just a hair to correct (flexible blade!) AND...

I took the tip of my thumb with some nail clean off with a little bit of bone.
