Glue......
Working on my central heating with my uncle.
Replaced the pump and I decided to neaten the ends of the wiring connection.
Decided to trim the ends with a brand new Stanley knife......on my knee.
While pressing down, cut straight through the conductor into the top of my leg.

I moved the wire and examined the cut in my jeans.
"Thought I'd cut my leg" I muttered. Then the blood started.
Being half-way through the job, the half-inch wide, half-inch deep cut needed mending.
Luckily, I'd seen the previous day a program about inventions and how (urban myth?) Loctite was invented to repair wounds quickly in war zones.
We decided we'd glue it back together......Jeans off, wiped up blood......Applied Loctite to the edges......Between us we pressed the edges together and waited the requisite 10 seconds and......
3 thumbs glued to my leg!
Didn't take a picture of that.
Loctite does work in an emergency though!

Odd Perspective
That has to be the smallest knee I've seen for a long time :)

It belongs to a small child
with exceptionally hairy legs.

Hadn't noticed.
But yes, in that picture, my knee is 5 times the width of my ankle.
Curiously, my thumb is huge!
Must have been something due to the blood loss.
Normal proportions have been resumed.

Is it as big as a baby's arm?
... no love, it's as big as my thumb.

Great
Now the guy who sits behind me is no doubt wondering why I'm looking at a picture of an injured penis on the internet
