The first time my wife ever physically injured me (accidentally, of course) was with her engagement ring. We were on our honeymoon, I think, or had just gotten back from it, and she was talking with her hands; wildly gesticulating and I got a little bit too close. Took a tiny little chunk of meat right out of my nose. Ouch.
