No wound pics, sorry. It's not that bad looking, anyway, it just stings.

So I'm walking to the terlet for to empty my bladder, and I feel a painful sting. I look at my foot and don't see anything, so I ignore it for ten minutes until the stinging just keeps getting worse and worse. I look at it in better light and hey, whaddayaknow, my foot glitters a bit, just on the sole of my right foot.

So I take trusty Mr. Tweezers and, with much effort on my part, yank the little bastard. Then I figure, why not let everybody on ARFCOM know of my misfortune? So here you are.

Penny for size comparison.







It's tiny, but it hurt like a motherfucker, let me tell you!

God, I hate glass splinters. I once carried one in the heel of my left foot for an entire year and a half before I was finally able to get it out!

Does your dad want to test? It's sitting in my trash can right now, I can fish it out and mail it to you...

I work in a plant that makes glass fiber yarn. I can attest first hand to the pain caused by a glass splinter.

You got some glass in your foot and you're posting it on arfcom?  Grow up you sissy!  I had more shrapnel than that taken out of my ass after that Glock kaboom last year!

A .22 HP, if aimed correctly will catch the offending sliver in the cavity and remove it. No pain, no gain.
JOKE!!!!

The other week my foot was itching funny for a couple of days, then suddenly started hurting.  So I ended up stopping my truck and taking off my sandal and, lo and behold, a piece of glass pretty much just like that one there.  I was picking it out with a knife when someone came up behind me, honked, and scared the crap out of me.

Few months ago I got a 1/8 long pointy one in my heel, I was PISSED.  I couldn't get it out, but I could feel it grating on the tip of my knife.   The knife just stuck it in deeper.   I have a job where I do a lot of walking, so I had to just wait till it got a little inflamed (so I could find it) and then cut the whole area out.  Took a couple of weeks.

The URL says crying, but that looks more like sleeping. And I was, in fact, sleeping while most of these responses were posted.

And now I'm off to class for several hours.

Which reminds me, I recall reading a few years ago of a drunken woman that shot a wart / corn off of her toe / foot. I don't believe she was successful in her endeavour.

Were you shooting a Glock with your ass or doing something extra special at the range that day?

Eh, we do dumb things when we are 14.
