Paper Cuts

There are three different types of paper cuts:

1. Regular paper - These little turds sting really bad. They'll bleed for a second, then stop. The stinging will persist for the next few days though.
2. Cardstock - Cardstock cuts occur very rarely, but when they do, you feel like you should kill yourself because you know how much pain your finger will be in for the next week. It will bleed like crazy for a minute, and you'll need a band-aid to help control the flap of skin partially removed from the evil cardstock.
3. Cardboard - This is the mother of all paper cuts. They are deep, painful and last for a couple of weeks. Not only can these stupid little bastards cut off your entire finger, they leave little bits and pieces of themselves lodged in your skin so you have to open the cut and dig out more cardboard with tweezers.

Which kind of papercut do you think I was lucky enough to get underneath my fingernail today? I'll give you one guess.

yep... superglue will take care of it. the last time i had a paper cut i thought i might bleed to death. it was deep and wide and wouldn't stop bleeding! the thing about papercuts is that they're always on an awkward part of your finger that you can't really put a bandaid on because there's no way it will stick! i hate papercuts. hope yours gets better fast. get the glue.
