    That sure will save on the manicure bill. We all do stupid stuff and he will have to live with his for the rest of his life.

    Now I wonder, how is he gonna be able to pick his nose with his right hand? Thats my favorite nose picking hand.

    I think I was 8 or 9. My dad bought me a new 3-speed racer. Besides always slipping on the pedals or missing a gear, and discovering the pain that turns the family jewels all black and blue (at such a tender age), a neighbour kid came over and was watching me clean my spokes and adding new streamers on the handle bars. There I was figuring the kid had two clues about gears and fingers, and he wouldn't spin the new chrome pedals while I was cleaning the rear spokes. Ha! The rotten SOB did just that! and I lost 3 finger nails! Before the pain really hit me, I knocked him cold into next Sunday! I didn't even have a chance to get mad, so I got even. Only he left with my blood on his shirt.

    Then I lost one finger in a saw (not the gold one :bouncy:), making a cheeseboard for my GF (way back when). She passed out, my brother whom I called to take me to the hospital passed out. So I drove myself to the hospital, loading them in the back. When I got there, the Emergency paramedics, started taking them out. I told them it was me, who needed the help. They ignored me, so I left the car and went in, with the tip still attached, (first knuckle) and then the blood started gushing. They whipped me into a room, in comes a doctor, freezes the three that got nipped and saved two of them, then he grabs a pair of chrome wire cutters and chops off the tendons on the chopped meat finger and its history. For about a year, I had shadow feelings. My pockets felt too deep. I couldn't find the bottom of my pockets. I'd always try to trim the missing finger nail, etc.

    But that first incidence with my bike at 8 years old, gave me a new sense of a higher pain threshold. When this saw chopping thing happened I was 33 and kept my head on. Really amazing how we can adapt.

    The only issue for me today, at 62, is that I can't reef a torque wrench to 75 lbs or more, without an extension bar, with one hand. No big deal.
