i'm reminded of baseball mishaps every day...under my chin i have to shave over a gash scar...was warming up a pitcher by squatting behind the plate and he let one get away, the 80 mph one hopper hit the plate in front of me at funny angle and missed my mit and ripped open my skin instead...am thankful i didnt lose teeth, i was certainly wearing a cup by no mask, live and learn...my whiskers are all grey around that area, i guess my chin's still stressed out over the ancient incident

great anecdote, char...explains why your nose is always out of joint (i don't even know what that means but i like to say it a lot to folks)
