"Eat your brussel sprouts, Junior. There are starving Chinese children American programmers that would kill for that food!"He refused to give it to the shop's owner, and refused to give it to a doctor who was treating Fizer, who accidentally stuck his hand in a mixing machine and had his right index finger lopped off at the first knuckle. A careless world??? :) I think i'll accidently stick a fork in the light socket :-> and then sue GE or some manufactuer of light bulbs... Thats pretty gross to find a finger in ice cream...I wouldn't be to willing to give it back either... 1) A finger shouldn't be in my food 2) Ice cream maker should have shut everything down immediately and found the finger 3) Ice cream boy should be more careful next time...his finger NOT mine... 4) I'd want a big money lawsuit too... Maybe i'm just inhumane...but i'm siding with the guy after big money :) Just my 2 cents It's frustrating being a genius and living the life of a moron!!!

1. You could talk pictures of the finger, and then give it back. 2. Suing for the right reasons is one thing, but suing because it's a lazy way to make money is disgusting. Being grossed out is not the worst thing in life. Do you sue your friends for telling gross jokes? Jeremy Falcon

Hockey wrote: Maybe i'm just inhumane I would say so. Go read the story again. The owner was taking care of the injured employee. When found that the finger was cut off the shop was shut down. If on the jury I would find the guy seeking $$ guilty of causing the injury to be permanent. We are talking minutes here, not trying to hid anything. Accidents do happen. So you have never had an accident or made any mistakes? I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that can think of.

According to the doctors at the hospital it could be reattached. In fact they called him to ask for the digit to at least try. Cheers, Tom Archer - Archer Consulting Group

"Eat your brussel sprouts, Junior.

I am VERY specific about what I eat...it's just me...I get really grossed out when I find a hair in my french fries at McDonald's...so a finger would be WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to far... Out of anger towards getting a finger in my food would be my main reason for suing...not so much the cash... It's frustrating being a genius and living the life of a moron!!!

If the finger finder can sue for finding the finger, the finger loser should sue the finger finder for theft of finger...after all the loser did not sell or give the tip away... Steve

If you only knew what was all in your food you would never eat anything ever again.

Somehow I don't think you would be nearly as emotionally wrought as the guy who JUST CUT OFF AND LOST THE END OF HIS FINGER. If you're about to disagree, first ask yourself what you would rather have happen: Find a finger in your food or lose one of your own. But hey, we gots to gets PAID. - F

Especially as he admitted to going to McDonald's. I saw a TV program about the production process and I'm never eating there again.

Good thought I really hope the finger loser can sue the finger finder back to the stone age. Regardz Colin J Davies The most LinkedIn CPian (that I know of anyhow) :-)
