Lookout eyeball, here it comes!

Ain't it amazing how your nose always itches when you pick up something sharp, or when you're doing something messy with both hands?

My mother tells me I did that when I was 10-12.That explains why I hated idea of shaving long before I needed a shave.

John Muir did that to himself

From wikipedia
In March 1866, Muir returned to the United States, settling in Indianapolis to work in a wagon wheel factory. He proved valuable to his employers because of his inventiveness in improving the machines and processes; he was promoted to supervisor, being paid $25 per week.[5]:48 In early-March 1867, an accident changed the course of his life: a tool he was using slipped and struck him in the eye. The file slipped and cut the cornea in his right eye and then his left eye sympathetically failed.[23] He was confined to a darkened room for six weeks to regain his sight, worried about whether he would ever regain his sight. When he did, "he saw the world—and his purpose—in a new light". Muir later wrote, "This affliction has driven me to the sweet fields. God has to nearly kill us sometimes, to teach us lessons."[15] From that point on, he determined to "be true to [himself]" and follow his dream of exploration and study of plants

Yup.Tree hugging hippie long before it was cool.Exact opposite of gun toting hunter Teddy Roosevelt but both ended up doing the same thing-preserving nature and popularizing it.

Btw,I don't think anyone knew what "pot" was back then,even John Muir.
