Did I tell you about the time my friend cut the tip of his finger off?

This is worse than that. I cut my own finger tip off!

My buddy Ron was showing off his new knives and saying how very sharp they were. He demonstrated with a carrot. When he got near the end he just kept on slicing. Fool! Off with the finger tip! I start laughing but knew, deep down inside, it was serious. So I figured he needed to clean the cut. After all my Mom always cleaned my brother and my cuts. So I reached over the sink and turned on the water faucet full blast. Ron screamed! He started pointing to the drain.

"Wha? What are you saying Ron?"
"You washed my finger down the drain!!!!!"

Geez, I didn't think a guy should get so pissed just because his buddy was trying to help him clean up his cut! Personally I don't think there is much you can do with the tip of a finger. I mean you can't just pull out a thread and needle can you? Nah. What, you think they will get the medi-copter and put his finger tip on dry ice and assemble a team of the worlds' finest finger tip surgeons? No way, Ron didn't even have health insurance. I gave him a shot of Jim Beam and then another. Finally he accepted reality and became adjusted to having a disproportionate finger. I was happy he forgave me that night. He is a good guy.

Well I was in a rush tonight and cut off the tip of my left thumb.  It wasn't as much of a loss as Ron's. Still it bleed a lot. It was hard finishing the lasagna. Anyway the dinner turned out well. My thumb has stopped bleeding. Maybe later on I will be able to forget Ron's finger tip going down his drain. Come to think of it I didn't even see my finger tip anywhere. Maybe it is still in the lasagna?

Carl.... Are you kiddin' us?  You really cut some of your thumb off with a kitchen knife?

Holy Cow!  Well, I'm sure it can't hurt the lasagna.  Isn't there an old English recipe that
calls for hiding something in a dish, and whomever finds it while eating, is blessed with good luck, or something? 

Jeez.. After reading of your kitchen boo-boo, my live steam scalded finger tip seems to be
feeling lots better!

Be careful in the kitchen....  Moved the five word post here, for that....

I didn't cut that much off! But it was more than a cut, more like a slice. Maybe the smallest slice possgile

My wife did something similar cutting kindling wood with a hatchet. You see one needs to take the finger away just before the hatchet comes down, not after.
