    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?

      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?
      Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.

        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.


                      *Probably.
