[DAWN] KASUR: A man allegedly chopped off the foot of his minor son on Monday at his home in village Hussain Khanwala in the jurisdiction of Pattoki Police Station.I can't recall ever chopping any appendages off my numerous progeny.
Police said they arrested suspect Muhammad Sharif and registered a case against him.
The Sharif's in jug?
Sharif took the step when he found his two sons quarreling over some issue. This enraged Sharif who drew an axe lying in the house and struck it at the leg of his son, Saleem, 12.
Oh, well. Heaving an axe sounds like the right way to discipline a twelve year old.
He was rushed to hospital where doctors told the family that one foot of Saleem had been chopped off.
"Doctor! Please tell me the boy don't have a subdural hematoma!"
"Nope. You chopped his foot off."
"Thank Gawd!"
Later, Saleem was referred to Lahore Jinnah Hospital owing to his critical condition.
"Wassa motta widdim?"
"I'm not sure, but he's a foot shorter than he used to be!"
Police arrested Sharif on the complaint of Muhammad Ibrahim, the uncle of Saleem, and seized the weapon from him.
"Put the axe down and step away with yer hands up!"
