Question: Where's the worst place to get a paper cut?
Question, Qualifier: I mean, above the waist^*?

Answer: The little fleshy part between your thumb and index finger. Ow.

Question, Rhetorical: How can something so superficial be such a pain?

Fetch forth the Bactine, Prudence! Or a Band-Aid at the very least.

* Feel free to make your own Chess jokes here about where one receives one's kicks; typing is a bitch for me right now.

Once in high school we were riding in the car and passing a sheet of paper from the back seat to the front seat and a friend of mine got a paper cut on his eyeball.

I did that the other day! ack. 'cept I kind of tore at the skin with the edge of one of those name-letter stickers that gets folded over the end of the patient's chart/file/thingie. The corners on the folded stickers are really sharp and as I pushed a file into the filing shelves, it tore through the skin right between my thumb and index finger. Bad enough that I get paper cuts from all the paper I handle (letters, patient info, photocopying), but the damn stickers... argh.

At least as a Dermatologist's office, we have lots of band-aids around! and Bacitracin.

Quickest way to count up just how many papercuts you receive in the course of duty: go to the kitchen, make some tea and squeeze half a lemon in.

You will find them ALL.

Actually, I also dispute the location thing. I have one under my thumbnail right now and it hurts way worse than the time that I sliced open the spot between my thumb and index finger (still have the scar from that one, though.)
