Something highly embarassing happened to me yesteday while driving the company van: it's very large and long, and has a decent overhang past the rear wheels, and a towball and steps at the back. I drove into a fairly steep driveway and promptly got stuck. I had to jack up the rear axle and put wood blocks under the tyres, then jack up the back and remove the towbar (or part of it) before I could get free took me about an hour altogether.
Yow.
Well you had the ingenuity to get yourself out...
I guess if the van was front-wheel drive you wouldn't have gotten stuck, huh?

Hi All,
@Wynter and bmwracer: For paper cuts, or other cuts where regular bandages don't work all that well, try using a liquid bandage called either Liquid Skin or Skin Shield. They are sold at most drugstores/pharmacies in the bandage section. It looks like clear nail polish and it works very well!
@A.D. - Congrats on getting your company van unstuck on that steep driveway. Good problem solving!
@ocha4ever: Don't worry about the gender mix-up here. When I first posted here I thought two guys were gals. They corrected me and weren't offended. Most of the guys here have female avatar pics and most of the gals here have male avatar pics or flowers, like me. I agree with Eve: "Sometimes it is rather funny in fact."
i'm worried if i do a mistake about cosidering someone's gender in this forum...
This forum is unique in that girls usually have male avatars/signatures and guys usually have female avatars/signatures. I was uber confused when I first started posting as well.
Mind you, I sometimes have females in my avatar/signature even tho I'm a girl, but for the most part, it's the opposite sex for most people.

Surprisingly, my cut healed a few hours after it happened... regardless of it being so deep. I guess it's because I squeezed it shut right away and didn't let go until the red blood cells rushed forward to repair the damage. _________________

I wonder what category I fall in. _________________

I thought it was white blood cells that did that....?
