I seem to have given myself a fat lip in my sleep. I have such creative mishaps.
You should have a snack before you go to bed. It stops self cannibalism.
I dug a chunk out of my chin with my thumbnail once. I was pulling the covers up, half asleep and thought, my chin sure does sting. But I was too sleepy to bother to see what the deal was. The next morning I had a big glob of dried blood on my chin. Looked great!
Well, only one of my lips is enfattened, so I'm kind of asymetrical. But hey, that could be a new trend, maybe people will get only half their face lifted, or get two different sized breast implants, or have pectoral implants on their back. They'll be walking abstract art.
A couple of years ago, my then-girlfriend and I had a tiny bedroom with a bed that had to have one side against the wall. She made that side be mine, and about a month after moving the damn wall attacked me in the middle of an otherwise uneventful sleeping session. I slumber-kicked the damn thing with a mighty burst of hatred that left me with a broken toe, swollen toe. It took nearly six (6) months for my big toenail to fall off and regrow, a time period that encompassed several visits to the toe doctor to have fluid drained out from beneath the new nail.
I feel for you, Johnny. Tsetchem leshalom, fat lip.
Kids at my elementary school called one another "shit lips" as an insult.
By the way, Divine_Wino, I spent yesterday and this morning in your old stomping grounds, facilitating locations for a CNN commercial in the alley across from your childhood home. The supers on the block are all quite friendly.

I doubt it, jon. When I was married I used to wake up with all sorts of odd bumps and bruises, and am pretty sure it was my husband beating me up while I was asleep, although he always denied it.
Or could it have been Pips flailing about in her sleep? My grandfather once nearly broke my grandmother's nose once when they were newly married by flinging his arm out in his sleep. Bam!
