My Man’s Finger.
My man injured his finger while knuckleheadedly cleaning his track chain with a hanky-wrapped index finger. It looks like the little guy didn’t make it. The fingertip that is, my man escaped with his life. Previously, my man has this to say:
(the quote has been altered to reflect proper grammar, and protect the innocent)
Hello Everyone,Just to inform everyone, after next Tuesday [my wife] would like me to be referred to as “9 2/3”, “Stubby”, or “9.65” (editor’s note: I believe he means 9.66 or 9.667) since I am having 1/3 of my finger removed. It’s been a nice almost 33 years but it’s got to go. I hope this will not be too hard of a change.
Later,
[First Name] “9 2/3” [Last Name]

I can't believe this is on here. Scary! What is more scary is that I live with this finger and the weirdo attached to it!

Too bad this didn't happen before your wedding, this would have made a fabulous 'Thank You' card! And Jon, you're still the same person, there's just a little bit less of you now. . . .

This is too wild to have this picture posted on a website. I am so glad that you are on the road to recovery & soon to be good as new. Well, pretty close anyway. I wonder if you could get a discount on a maincure?

It's taken me this long to summon the courage to look at the damn thing. I must say it's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be!
