Don't even get started about the fingernails. I don't want to know.

After seeing the pics of it all opened up like a can of beans, I'm not surprised they had to lop it off.

Too bad it wasnt the pinky finger instead, if you really had to choose one to get rid of. I think it would affect his riding less if it was the pinky finger.

Wasn't it Randy Renfrow who replaced one of his badly mangled thumbs with one of his big toes?

I used to work in the Pulp & Paper industry, and it was very unusual to shake hands with one of the old veterans who had all of his/her digits or limbs.  

It was a bit plus when Unions started the push to install safety guards.
