In college my right middle finger tip pad was tender one day. Didn't think anything of it. day goes by, starts to hurt when it touched anything, but was just swollen and red. day three and finger tip is bigger, ultra tender and pulsing. there's a tiny spec of white, sort of "inside". Touched it with a pen tip and hurt like crazy. Got the exacto knife out and started cutting. 3mm in I hit paydirt and some serious amount of white fluid pulsed out followed by an amazing feeling of relief. A little more fishing around and pulled out a small splinter from what seemed like the core of my finger.

Can't say 100%, but probably was from an oar in Crew. It was a marvelous feeling to let all that pressure out.

then there was the time I ripped the skin on my arm open down to the fascia while cutting up a car. the skin split apart and little globs of fat and blood drops sat atop the white sheath. Didn't hurt much and was pretty neat looking.
