When someone says "How did you get that scar?"
 

"Oh, it was nothing..Voldemort tried to kill me as a baby."

You can add "Multiple times" on the end of that sentence for numerous scars ;D

win. (Y)

You win at life

what is with the harry potter obsession, its was rubbish ;)

Who the hell is Harry Potter? Voldemort tried to kill me.

Haha damn that Voldermort, he's always trying to get me!

Damn, wish I thought of that.
So much better than my "Battled with a rabid cat" excuse.

Tried to have sex with a hedgehog, and well er, didn't go down so well.

I find that no one believes me even when I tell the truth. I have a bottle of pills and someone wanted some painkillers, so I have them some from my bottle and they asked why I had so many. I told them it was just in case I ever just couldn't do it anymore and that I need the security that they bring knowing I can end it at any time. They laughed. I wasn't joking.

Anyway, sorry for that downer to a light hearted thread. I'll post something happier now. I tell people that Charlie bit me.

Best excuse ever.

I usually say I fell into a barbed wire fence..I'm klutzy so they believe me
either that or "well....uh...some bondage play that went horridly wrong.."
usually shuts them up XD

Good idea. :tongue2: No one has asked me about the scars now they're healed, but when they were new, I was asked a few times and I either didn't answer or blamed it on my cats:

(must have been an obvious lie, but people obviously found it easier to accept than to ask if my ''cat'' was actually a lion)

PS Choley: I like Russell Howard too: hes strangely cute and funny and has a sensitive view on the world. A great combination. :-)

Yes. Mine are always blamed on my cats but Voldemort is so much better (and obviously more realistic) :)

I reply

"your face"

then they don't ask any more questions.

Id just say
What the hell, are you kidding, you did that last year! *angry face*

Ok, so no, i wouldn't, but i didn't have a good real one...

I've given people elaborate, in depth explanations before. They didn't believe me.

"What scars? I don't have any scars? I don't know what you're talking about..."

Throw them into an existential crisis. Result!

This one time, at band camp...

ahaha, I love that xD

If someone asked me, I'd probably just quote the joker's 'wanna know how I got these scars?' speech.

THIS. THIS IS THE ONE I AM USING :thumbup::thumbup: hahaha
