Paper is sharp!

Judging by the cut I've just suffered it's pretty sharp!! As I was loading some sheets of paper into my printer I tapped them on the desk to straighten them up - and one of them bit me! Just as well myLot doesn't allow colour or this discussion would be in red. My first reaction was to seek help from my wife as First Responder in applying a Band Aid to my injury. There was quite a lot of blood but her comments on 'wimpy guys' made me reconsider my decision to seek help from her. Next time I'll just bleed to death!
In a paper cut, fingers and paper pair perfectly to produce a potent witch's brew of pain, with each ingredient bringing something special to the mix.

Does baby need his boo boo kissed is what I asked hubby the last time he came to me with a small cut.

Those things do hurt but how come men don't run to us with band aids when we get cut. Mine gave me a bottle of liquid bandaid once and told me to keep it close to me.

@cintol That's because all you girls insist on being emancipated and want to be fully treated as equal to men! PS: I have a feeling I've just started a riot!

@jstory07 Really? Read this:
The concept of man flu sounds like a joke or a ploy for sympathy, but men may experience the flu differently than women do.

@ThreeTeddies Just goes to prove men are whiners and want to be babied. While women are braver and act like wonder women.

I absolutely hate paper cuts and the next worst are sharp knife cuts. I remember my late husband used to be like your wife must be brave. Instead of hugging me and taking care of my cut he had me stand with my finger high up in the air which he said would stop the bleeding and while I had tears coming down he just calmly bandaged it once the bleeding stopped. Don't worry your finger won't fall off.

I've received more paper cuts from my teaching days than I care to remember. They do hurt!

@ThreeTeddies From the amount of blood I see in the picture I see that the cut was very deep. I hate cutting myself with paper it hurts a lot.

It's painful but it's never too serious, it bleeds a bit. I place under running water and it stops.

That does look nasty. And I'm sure it hurt a lot. Mine always do but mostly I just fix myself up.
