Used to be that you saw men like that all the time. If someone wasn't missing a finger or two, you figured they never did any real work. I could probably name a dozen men right off the top of my head with parts of fingers missing. I still have all ten, but several have been broke enough times the arthritis prevents them from being real useful.
He may have had an accident with that hand, but I still don't understand guys who bite their nails to the nubs. How do they pick their nose, scratch their ass, pop a zit or pick a scab off their shoulder? Daryl
My old man had his index finger missing down to the second knuckle on his off hand. He used to shove it up his nose, and it looked like it was so far up there that he was tickling his brain.
God rest his soul. Hardest working man I ever knew.
My dad took his middle finger off at the first joint. When he wanted you attention he'd thump you on the head with the stump. Felt like getting hit in the head with someones graduation ring.
