#2 There have been several robberies in grocery and super store parking lots in Colorado Springs in the past few weeks. So be alert when shopping.

In a perfect justice system this robber dude would lose a hand or at least two fingers.

#3 At which point he would go on welfare and rehabilitation at the taxpayer's expense for life, unfortunately.

#4 I met an idiot girl who had lost two fingers the stupid way.

The first time, she was trying to hop a train that was going just a tad too fast, and *pop*, off came a finger.

The second time, she was trying to hop a train that was going just a tad too fast, and *pop*, off came ANOTHER finger.

Some people have no sense of pattern recognition.

#5 Which reminds me of an old Arizona tale, of a cowboy who was out riding with his dog, when his horse saw a rattlesnake and bucked. He was thrown, but his fingers were caught in the reins. One finger was torn halfway off, the other clean off.

His dog grabbed the lost finger and ate it.

He wrapped his bleeding hand in a handkerchief and rode to the nearest doctor, a veterinarian, on the off chance he might sew the other one back on.

The vet took one look and said no, then detached the torn finger and tossed it into a silver tray before bandaging up the hand. But then, the vets large tomcat jumped on the table, snatched that finger and ran off.

So, that cowboy went down in the books as the only case of a man who had one finger eaten by a dog, and the other eaten by a cat, on the same day.
