Got a gash above my eyebrow from my scope...what to tell co-workers?

Having passed the initiation blood rites, our welcome to another charter member of the half-moon club. ;)
 
My old college roommate gave me the best one ever:

"I got this while fighting for a lady's honor...


She wanted to keep it and I was determined to take it away from her!"

Or you could just say "I was jumping on the bed and forgot the ceiling fan was on!"
 
Not to be rude but I hate it when someone says, "Grow some", or something similar. Such statements should be used VERY sparingly because they're incredibly condescending.
 
Just tell 'em you earned it, and leave it at that. Or else tell 'em the whole (true) story and they'll get bored before you finish.
 
....You were taking your child to a Harry Potter film festival and wanted to appear in character as an adult Harry Potter, so you needed a scar above your eye....

....gremlins, it was gremlins....

....you had your human eye replaced with a much cooler robotic prosthesis (that looks just like your organic eye...)

....The Borg exist, and are real, this is just the first stage in your assimilation process, randomly walk by their desks and state flatly "Resistance is Futile", or dismiss their comments as "irrelevant"
 
It isn't about "growing some". It is about knowing the environment and trying to advance my career.

I was convinced that lying about it wasn't a good idea, so for the most part I just deflected the question.
 
Tell them the truth. You don't want to talk about it because ...

a. you are ashamed
b. you are worried that the answer might scare them
c. it's nobody's buisness but your own

Or fashion these somehow into more "officy" sounding grammar.

Been there done that!

I'm all for telling the truth, but there are times when you just have to listen to this guy :evil: and give people a story they won't forget... Just for fun. My wife has finally learned my "tells" though and just rolls her eyes and says, "you just make stuff (not her word) up don't you?"
Tell em you were "messin' with Sasquatch" or something funny.
