    LOL Yeah, we razz him about that one all the time. He's got a pretty good sense of humor about it. Sometimes when people ask him about how he lost it, he gets a really serious face and says "It really bothers me when people ask that." The look on their face.................priceless. Of course its hard for me to not bust out laughing. :biggrin_25523: And I feel sorry for them at the same time, because they just don't know how to react after that. LOL

    Wedding ring finger. Of course. Caught it and tore it off. *I can hear you all cringing now. :biggrin_25523:

    It happened when he was 16, and he had his class ring on, climbing down off the grain truck, caught it on the ladder. So he's never really had a desire to wear a ring, since then.

    Both of my driving fingers are in good working order, they get a lot of exercise in Northern NJ, I swear they are the worst drivers I have ever seen, I have driven across the States three times and in England so that is saying something. Don't mind driving in NYC some of the taxi drivers think it's demolition derby driving, had a few laughs seeing them get balled out by the pedestrians that land up kicking their cabs.

    Don't know how to get the last poster's quote in the blue bubble.

    i guess you should consider yourself lucky, that you weren't "relieving yourself" that day, and the dog bit off "another digit"...

    I wasn't given an extra appendage, would have been handy if I did. You know girl's got to find a bigger bush to duck behind in emergencies so no one sees the moon.

    and by the way, what difference what kind of dog bit you..??? (you sound prejudice towards Labs)...

    Nope, got two rescue dogs both Lab cross with something, one's 50lbs the other is 80lbs and a big daft soft buggar scared of his own shadow.
