      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

          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

              sorry Tom - I couldnt read the article, so just went by your summary... ah, the miracles of modern science - when I were a lad, if we lost a digit it were 'tough luck !' - could insert something pythonesque in here :-) keep safe & well, 'G'

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

                                  I did not think the sig is part of the message. I just wanted to point out that sometimes the signature could be misread for a grave message like this one, but don't get me wrong, there is nothing personal here, I have my full respect for Tom (with a collection of his books to prove that :). Correct me if I am wrong or blame it on the fact that English is not my mother tongue but I think 'Cheers' sounds like a toast to celebrate something.

However, if you are not familiar with all the overloaded forms then I can see how you could make that interpretation when faces with it as a salutation.

                                        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.

                                          It was on TV a couple of weeks ago. I just saw the trailers and that was enough to re-enforce my dislike for McDonald's, Burger King and the like.
