Bummer. You have my empathy.......

I used the "bar fight" excuse once myself! I lost an argument with a bungee hook.

Was loading stuff at the end of a camping trip using a tarp and bungee hooks and I guess I pulled to
hard on one. It was fully extended and the metal hook decided to straighten out. The thing whipped
back and hit me right on the edge of the jawline! I'm damned lucky it did not hit me in the eye. :-(

For the next week, I had this monster bruise on my jaw, extending over a good part of my
cheek and neck.

I had to go to work that way, and claiming a bar fight was ever so much fun!

Hope you heal up quickly!

Hay I'll have to use the bungee cord excuse the next time I'm in a bar fight. Pan Ohco

Cut the mango in half. Now take a knife and cut vertical and horizontal cuts into the mango all the
way down to the skin. You should have a cross-hatch pattern. Then turn the mango inside out by
pushing the back of the mango upwards between your hands. Voila! Mango squares. And you can cut them
off very close to the skin.
