I had a commander one time who thought he was pretty tough. One day he managed to slice himself pretty good, and had apparently just seen Rambo, 'cuz he decided to stich himself up. Got halfway thru the first stitch and decided that Rambo is a lot tougher than than he looks, so off to the ER he went. He sait that sticking a needle in already inflamed flesh HURTS!!!

And then there is that infection thing, which of course he never thought about...
