You ever get hit in the noggin, real hard? I've taken a couple good ones. Just wondering. I'm thinking 80% of men have been whacked at least once and only 20% of women. I thought this was the land of equal opportunity. Guess we'll have to start an affirmative action program. Just a joke, y'all--before you pounce.

Man! Talk about poor choices--Joining the Army & boxing.
Flyboy & coward, me.

5 fractures in my skull from being hit by a drunk driver (I was a pedestrian) and God knows how many fractures to my skull from my first ex.

I've done my time in the X Ray dept LOL

none of it knocked any sense into me though...

Must be unusual for a woman- 3 concussions from being drunk when a student and falling backwards off barstools  - then hit quite a few times as a police officer, mostly by drunk women, and once by a male psycho (literally)

When I was young, I whacked it so many times I'm surprised I'm not blind!!

You are truly whacked, and so is Hub. Maybe Magoo, too!

the first fall I know of was around my 2nd birthday when I fell so hard on my face I put my bottom teeth through my lip -still have a scar, and the 2nd time I actually remember was at 5 when I was pushing a metal merry go round, ducked, then stood up and got my forehead split open by the metal bar.  Many other incidences in child hood and young adulthood of head splitting bumps, and a few very bad head wacks as an adult in car accidents, plain old doing the splits in the rain, slipping on hard wood, and running into doorframes while running through the house in the dark to get something in the kitchen.

ps almost forgot the time when I was 5 and the christmas parade went in front of our house in Clyde CA.  I ran into the middle of the street and then looked both ways like my mom had told me, put out my hands, was hit by the firetruck with Santa on it, did a double back flip, and then was taken to the hospital with Santa & my mom for exrays - no broken bones.

First head injury was at the age of 1 and a half (I was told about this one as t resulted in stiches above my right eyebrow).

There have been a number of them since in a number of different types of incidents and I'd write a novel to put them all (the ones I can recall anyway)

A couple of the more serious of these were... Getting thrown from the horse at 5 years old.  (broke my arm with that one too)  Fell down the cement stairs from the garage to a concussion at 13.  Car accident at age 21.  Assult at age 33.

Oh I forgot about the neighbor who hit me in the left side of the head with a thrown rock.  I was 6.

Coupla stitches on the back of my head from falling on the concrete basement floor and then a whack with a baseball bat above my left eye when I was 11.  Broadsided in a car when I was twelve.

But I'm a supporter, not a clusterhead.

My sister caught me! I was 11 and it was a Friday night. My mom put us both on restriction for a messy room and I was nagging about it all being her fault that I couldn't go out and if she wasn't a pig we wouldn't be in this mess. I just kept going on and on and she picked up a board and hit me in the head giving me a concusion that put me in bed for a week and taught me what an eeg was. First day out of bed, a week later, a ladder fell on my head. I also have a bad scar on my tongue and head from very early in my life, something to do with walking into a swing set???  I wonder how we all made it.

And a mind is a terrible thing to waste! 

Here's one for ya...never had a head injury. Never.
I must be the 1% of the 1%, eh?

Hit by a car at age 11 and then a golf club at age 16 when one of my idiot friends tried to show me how to swing a driver.  Seems I wasn't supposed to stand that close.  Got me on the follow through
