Its still in there I think.
Luckily it went in top first, so i can still write with it by moving my head. Can't do joined up letters though.

ahh... that reminds me... I chew my pen... about 18months ago whilst chewing my pen and leaning on my chair I slipped... I now have a nice impromptu tatoo on my inner cheek where the pen scraped its way down and finally lodged into my gum at the back.

I still chew my pen - I just don'w lean back on my chair while doing so.

My husband did the same but with a pencil in his ear. The rubber (sorry can't say that can I eraser) on the end came off in his ear. Cost $50 co-pay at ER to get it removed.

You could file a lawsuit against the pen manufacturer because there was no warning on the pen that said "This pen is not intended or suitable as a headrest".

That'd fill your afternoon for you

That is seriously f**ked up. I once gave myself a similar injury with a straw from mcdonalds and thought that was pretty bad - your accident sounds about 100 times worse.

Interestingly the eye that just got poked has a permanent bloodshot spot on it after i once poked my finger in it whilst dozing on the sofa and being so sleepy that i didn't actually manage to close the lid in time :(

Perhaps we should start a "What was your favourite accident" thread where other posters can recount their hilarious tales of self-harm :)
