all in the crotch. Scalding coffee in flimsy cups. There were quite a few of these accidents and they all required extensive treatment and some skin grafts. I saw it in a medical journal when I still worked at a hospital and this trite BS pisses me off every time I hear it too.

I can't believe the pictures of these injuries aren't online, everything else is. Their genitals are covered by blue O.R. towels.

Edit: The documentary "Hot Coffee" covers this I believe. This Obit is Libertarian/Right Wingnut B.S. like those Good Ole Days posts.
