Manliest thing i've ever done?

Picked up a severed piece of skin (about 2" by 1") from my knee.. carried it home, put it in a plastic bag, and took it to the hospital to be sewn back on.

was it bigger than a paper cut?
yes.

I sliced my hand open on the inside of a server case and needed to stop the bleeding so I could upgrade the RAM and get it back online before the end of the 15 minute maintenance window.

Pain-wise I caught my big toe on something and ripped the skin off the end. I went home and poured alcohol and then peroxide over the open wound while I was in the tub.

Stupid-wise I was throwing and catching a hatchet when I was like, 12, and I threw it way in the air and it landed next to me about 6 inches to the side. I didn't throw it anymore.

Served 12 years in the military. Pussies let others do the dirty work that is required to maintain their freedoms.

I've lost count how many lives I've saved over the last few years, I figure that earned me a man card.

Otherwise I can think of a few other things, for example in Bora Bora on my honeymoon my wife accidentally dropped her mask/snorkel in about 45 feet of water, I threw on a pair of fins and free dove and retrieved her stuff on the first try.

When I was 24, I picked up a guy that was on the floor beating the snot out of a kid in front of a club and threw him into his group of friends.

It was pretty badass.

First three years in the Navy I did mans work. Chipped, painted, hauled line, etc.
Then I struck ET and turned into a pussy.

I broke my ankle, then "walked it off" and continued to run on it.

For a year and half...until the pain became too much and I would start to collapse on it and finally broke down and saw a doctor to have it surgically repaired.

Not sure if that counts as stupid or manly, whatever :awe:
