Although at least you don't have some sort of internal magnet that attracts throngs of 18-year-old supermodels to whatever dressing room you are in.

Seriously there was a line, right down the middle of my face. Dont know where I got it, or how I got it. But I did.<BR/><BR/>Then the time when I had it on my hand, and didn't know it, and was working in the yard, and scratched my um.. Ahem, my boobs. That was extra fun.
