My husband has a scar on his waist. I did it to him myself several years ago. Just to help you a bit and exclude some obvious possibilities: I am not a surgeon. We were not angry at each other. Nothing unsuitable to minors was involved. Can you establish what actually happened? |

Was it an accident? Or deliberate? Did it involve an accident? Could anyone have done it or just you? Is his profession or occupation relevant? Is yours? Does he have any relevant medical conditions, afflictions or ailments? |

What is SVV? You accidentally did something that resulted in a scar on your husband's waist? On his front, side or back? Was he cut? Did he bleed? Was he cut with a knife, an axe, a tool, a piece of glass, something else? Your professions are important? Are your professions related to: Sport, Entertainment, Medecine, Animals, Police, Security, Finance, Sales, Marketing, Teaching, Office work, Outdoor activities, Retail, Services, Manufacturing, Religion? |

What is SVV? It stands for "sufficiently vague values"; in this case, it was meant to say that it was not exactly a profession, although the definition was very close - see below You accidentally did something that resulted in a scar on your husband's waist? Yes On his front, side or back? Right side, actually Was he cut? Just scratched Did he bleed? Yes Was he cut with a knife, an axe, a tool, a piece of glass, something else? Something else Your professions are important? Not exactly professions - I would rather call it a hobby, although there are people who do the same activity as a profession Are your professions let us say the activity we were involved in related to: Sport Yesish, Entertainment Yes, Medecine, Animals, Police, Security, Finance, Sales, Marketing, Teaching, Office work, Outdoor activities Sort of, yet this might be slightly misleading, Retail, Services, Manufacturing, Religion? No to rest |

So you were engaged in a hobby? And you scratched him? Was it with your nail or nails? Fishing or hunting involved? Were you outdoors at the time? Were other people involved? Were you entertaining others? Were you in water? Was he wearing clothing above the waist? Was he wearing normal outdoor clothes? |

Were you: acting? singing? playing music? dancing? performing a stunt? exercising? Was the "scratch" caused by: an article of clothing? a piece of sporting equipment? a musical instrument? a theatrical prop? Was the scratch caused by the normal performing of the action(s) you are doing (meaning that anyone performing it could potentially be at risk of same)? Or did you do something slightly wrong, resulting in the scratch? |

No to the rest Was the "scratch" caused by: an article of clothing? a piece of sporting equipment? Yesish a musical instrument? a theatrical prop? ..but this is even closer Was the scratch caused by the normal performing of the action(s) you are doing (meaning that anyone performing it could potentially be at risk of same)? Technically, anyone doing the same as we did would be at risk, if something went wrong - see below}Or did you do something slightly wrong, resulting in the scratch? This one |

Were you holding the metal prop during the act? was he? Are either of you holding anything other than the metal prop? Is the metal object sharp on any part of it? If so, is it sharp as part of its intended function (as in a sword)? or is its sharpness incidental (like, say, a hubcap)? |

Is it simulated combat? Touchée Fencing? .. and touchée again Or a "Medieval Times" style duel? Rather Renaissance style, but, nevertheless, touchée again. I surrender, and here goes my ****************SPOILER***************** My husband, a couple of friends and myself used to have a small group dedicated to period swordplay for our own pleasure and - hopefully - also for that of our audience. It had some theatre but much more fencing in it. As you might know, this kind of fencing, unlike the sports fencing, has a pre-arranged scenario and all the movements are meticulously trained. The blades we used had quite sharp points. Once I was engaged in a Renaissance-style duel with my husband, and both of us happened to make a mistake at the same time - I forgot my next "line" and hesitated a moment, confused him, and he parried a fraction of a second later than he should have. Fortunately, it resulted only in a light scratch, and it was the only injury we ever sustained during several years :-)) Thank you all for participating, and, in particular, to Dropofahat for scoring the winning hit! |
