I don't normally *knock wood* cut myself but one of my worst cuts was with a
tomato. And yes, it was a dull knife. Not my knife. My parent's knife and
when I was growing up, they were all dull if you ask me! I managed to cut
right through the side of my fingernail and the tomato juice got in there
making it really sting.
