          don’t hurt that much lie. They hurt pretty noticeably. But lucky for 
          me I’ve had asphalt scrubbed out of my side and leg via an iodine, soap-covered 
          scrub brush (like the kind you use on your floor) after I slid 290 feet 
          coming off my bike at about 65 mph. I also sat for 4 hours in a dentist 
          chair getting three root canals and temp caps from <i>biting </i> pavement 
          (my mountain bike’s quick release quickly released in mid-air while 
          skying off a hill into a parking lot. I pretty much picked bits of rock 
          out of my face for a week after that… Compared to <i>those</i> this 
          was nothing. Compared to <i>no</i> pain at all, well…this hurt. I gritted 
          my teeth and made a few faces only when he worked on the back of my 
          arm (MAN! Did that sting…), but over all it wasn’t an <i>unbearable 
          </i>kind of pain. Just…continual. For four hours.</font></p>
