Hearing King of Pain - Alanis Morressette
So, question for you all: Which hurts more -- biting the inside of your cheek hard enough to draw blood or ramming your little toe hard into a door? Because I just did both within about five minutes of each other, and I'm really having a hard time quantifying which is worse. Any insight you can have would be helpful, so I can figure out where I hurt more. I thank you in advance.

I try to keep a good Perc buzz on all the time just to be ready for if stuff like that happens to me.

The little toe hurts more but the cheek pain lasts longer. Do you want me to hit you somewhere else so you will forget the 1st two? hehe

Biting cheek vs stubbing toe. Easy, the more painful is jamming the thumb so hard that the nail tears off to the quick. Now THAT hurts.

Well first it depends on how bad for both. I once bit my tongue so hard I could not talk right the rest of the day. Everyone made fun of me. Had a huge welty area.
Then I stubbed my toes in my jam box all the time. My podiatrist just loves me! Fractured a line in and a chip in my baby toe once. Chip still floating but not causing me enough pain to take it out. Then a few days after I did this a huge filled bottle of shampoo fell right on it in the shower! Then I jammed another toe & it screwed up the muscle so that the upper end of my toe is a bit flopsy now. Ha!
Now I'll add another to the mix that I find just as bad. My 10 yr old niece still to this day is an aggressive sleeper! I hope she grows out of it eventually or she is in trouble but when she was a toddler, she'd sleep with me & sit up & then lay horizontal on your nose! I'm talking on the bridge of it & you see stars. I had her laying on my in the lazy boy once & my mom is standing by me talking to me (whisper of course) and she picked up her head & with her forehead whacked my nose & I couldn't scream or anything because I didn't want to wake her. My mom said I turned white. Then just as the pain was subsiding a bit she did it again!!!! Add birdies to the stars!
I venture to guess though many woman who have had natural childbirth are thinking this is a rather silly question....as Carol Burnett would say the pain is like "taking your lower lip & pull it over your head!"
