I live in a pretty active community, so it's not uncommon to have people ask about an injury because it usually has a good story attached. LOL It would be something like, "Oh that, I did that while back-country skiing and had a ski get stuck inder a log causing me to face plant into the nearest tree." Or "Oh that, I thought it was still warm enough to try the trail without ice cleats and ended up slidding of the trail and landing among the rocks in the river."

I prepared myself to be asked about the cut because it was so obvious and in such an unusual place and I ended up being taken aback when no one asked about it.
