Ever been bitten?

How many times have you been bitten by a prop? I went flying today and with my head up my a..![&:] I got my left index finger in the way of my spinning prop. Next thing I knew blood was gushing and I still was carring the plane from the table to the field. I set it down and shut off the engine, wrapped my finger in a bunch of paper towels and drove home to fix my mistake. After an hour for it to quit soaking up the gauze in blood I was ablt to wrap it in tape. I went back to the field and retrieved my gear. Sure would have been nice if I hadn't been the only one there. But I go early in the afternoon and it is always empty then. Most of the time I like it because I can fly more but not today. Well it wasn't the first and probably won't be the last. Let me hear your stories and pictures if you have any. Mine just looks like a finger wrapped in tape and gauze so no big deal.
