Lots of potential for a much worse injury, good thing it wasn't too bad (you weren't defeating the safety-switch on the mower were you? where you let go of the handle it is supposed to stop the engine?)

Now you just have to come up with a better story for your injury, like you were trying to lip the world-record crappie when he bit you, or it was a piranha-crappie hybrid, or something

Sorry about the little incident Anthony. Gonna have to change your nickname now. Hope it heals ok. aka: Kid Krappie aka: Stumpy

Anthony,

I hope you get better soon!

Safety Tip: next time take off the spark plug wire before sticking your hand under the mower
