Not very nice. My best (worst?) burn was probably directly behind my
right knee when I was a kid. Was riding a motor bike across a ploughed
field, bike went down with my right leg wrapped around the exhaust
while my cousin was on top of me crying (nothing happened to her .
It was a ******* because it took forever to heal, being a spot that
was in constant movement all the time.
