“I’ve had a pencil with a graphite battery since the first grade.”

I’ve had graphite embedded in my hand since having a pencil fight in the second grade.

I have graphite in my palm since freshman year in high school. Had a pencil in my back pocket, jumped off the bleachers, and impaled my right hand!

I’ve had graphite embedded in my hand since having a pencil fight in the second grade.

Fifth grade: grabbed at a freshly sharpened pencil as it fell, and stabbed about a half-inch of the lead into my lower right palm.

That was 42 years ago, and the mark is still there.

I got a staple in the thumb in 1st grade from a classmate, but I pulled it out of the bone by myself. The three staples from splitting my head open that year were removed by my doctor!
