Don't worry he's still thick though.

And it's no accident as you don't put your hand/arm in moving machines.

Thanks SueEllen. By the way, what's your favourite letter?

There was a story doing the rounds about a fisherman who did a similar thing.

Chopping his own arm off, not the playing with rocks thing.

Found it, Wikipedia, I love you!

Seems to be all the rage to chop your own limbs off. Anyone here given it a try?

That's where the term coyote ugly comes from. However since you just got laid you probably get disqualified from the Darwin award.

I snapped my banjo string years ago - does that count?

I was working on my van engine once and a gust of the wind caused the bonnet to slam down on my little finger and latch. It was stuck in a gap about 5mm wide. When somebody finally rescued me, my finger was a quarter of its normal thickess. Oddly, it was back to normal in 10 minutes and I never even had a bruise.

Did you consider cutting it off with your pocketknife?

I once caught me wotsit in my flies once, but never had a penknife handy to cut the blighter off. Had to make do with carefully unzipping it.

Those electric scooters are a f**king pain. Though perhaps not as bad as scooters that stay at the Heathrow Thistle....

Turns out the lad has 3 kids with 2 girls*. Not a candidate for a Darwin award.
