I don’t know but I like the expression, “I am gonna miss you, like a paper cut on the lip.”
Paper cuts often occur on your fingertips, which are extremely sensitive (many nerve endings). You also use your fingers a lot, so you disturb the cut often, which really hurts because of the exposed nerves.
Try putting a little Band-Aid on it.
For the same reason farts are hilarious and breaking up is hard to do?
my question is how the hell does paper cut you XD
Great question! I get them all the time, working with paper. How can such a little cut hurt so much and for so long?
I don’t know, but UGH…I hate the little bastards!
The best thing for a paper cut is tea tree oil. It almost seems to seal up the cut. It kind of warms the cut & soothes it right away. I won’t be without it. When I was working, everyone would come to me for some when they’d get a cut. It works!
I got one under my fingernail once, worst thing ever.
