My neighbor across the street is missing the tips of both of his pinky
fingers (looped off from the joint below the nail). I asked him what
happened, and he told me this:

He was sawing (table saw) wood for a cabinet, and chopped off his finger. A
month later - He did the same thing to the other hand!
A MONTH LATER.

Fortunately, he is not a musician. He owns a cabinet shop... (for real)

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!

I am blushing.....but.....my wife would tell you that I am not.
However...you are correct about table saws.......(in an Elmer Fudd kind of
voice): one must be verrry, verrry, careful!
