though context helps lots

Yes :) I did consider making the sentence "Do you have a spelk in your hand?" which is a perfectly valid question but gives far fewer clues. There are, after all, not many things one legitimately and regularly has in one's finger.

I figured that "pin" wasn't likely so thought it'd either be "stitch" "piercing" or most likely "splinter"
