The Thumbless Wonder

[GameMaster]

What?! I thought you were a bouncer and aspiring teacher?

When did 'chef' pop into the list of occupations?

[Professor S]

I am still a student (who is getting continually screwed in terms of requirements) but I was moved from bouncer to cook a while back (I had experience cooking before) and I'm currently a chef and caterer for my employer. I will be bouncing on St. Patties as they need as many experienced bouncers as they can get and I'm the only one they trust with the door money.

I chopped my left thumb. You would think it wouldn't be that much of a bother, but it is. I had no odea how much I used my left thumb. For example, try typing without your left thumb... you'll have to change everything.

Does this mean that thumb will be out of service forever?

Dear Phil;

The following encloses proof I was not confused, or insane.

PS. Strangler, how will you tell people if they did a good job from a far distance?

To answer several questions:

I now give a MEGA thumbs up, due to the ginormous soft cast on my thumb. Its really pretty funny to look at.

And no, the thumb is not out of service. In fact most of what I chopped off will grow back as it was soft tissue and not any tendons or musculature. The drawback is that the tip will most likely lose feeling forever.

The bright side is that my state considers this "permanent loss" and while I will only get a few days of comp until I can work again (can't handle knives sans thumb), I am entitled to a one time payout because I lost a part of myself forever. Sweeet... now I'm wondering exactly how much I need my pinky toe...

Hell, do you really need any toes?

Actually yes. If you lose just your big toe you have to be taught to walk again because its so important to your sense of balance.

Sorry to ruin your joke with my Mr. Wizard act.
