I won't be posting a picture but man did I get a doozy last night. My SiC sanding belt wasn't completely square on my 6x2.5" expando. There was about an 1/8" hanging off the one side. What a bone head move. I was working a larger cab by hand and as the cab slid off the edge I gave myself a deep paper cut on my pointer finger. So my Lapidary Tip is don't rush when you're swapping belts. Make sure that belt is squared up properly. I like to learn things the hard way.
During my junior and senior years in high school I worked in a blue print room at a company that manufactured assembly line systems. I copied, collated, rolled and folded thousands of drawings on blue print, sepia, and mylar. Sepia was the easiest to get cut on because it's so thin but mylar was more rigid and could deliver a much nastier cut. Paper cuts were a daily occurrence so I am something of an expert on the subject.

Ouchy indeed, what the heck is it about paper cuts that makes them hurt so much, I wonder. Got my very best ever a month ago, from a piece of cardboard... two papercuts for the price of one, thank you very much. That was a new one on me, wouldn't even think it possible.

One of the Jackass episodes that made me shudder. When they were all PURPOSELY giving each other deep paper cuts in the webbing between their fingers and toes. *shuddering again*

I run a machine at work that perfs paper. We work with reams all day. The cuts between the fingers suck, I usually get it between the thumb and forefinger. I have to say though, that under the fingernail is worse. And even worse than that is when you go under the same nail for a 2nd time! "*$(^#$%*#$^(^#%$^" is usually what comes out of my mouth then!
