Slings and Arrows

John was about to wrap up his shift at work Monday night when he got the tip of his right pinky finger caught between the edge of a wooden barrel and a conveyor belt, causing what the nice ladies in the ER characterized as "near amputation." Of course, being that the cutting surfaces he employed were not recently honed by a professional nor designed for cutting in the first place, it was a bit of a mash-up, and the surgeon made the decision to simply finish the job John had started. The end result was that John lost all of the last bone in the finger and a small part of the next. The doctors said it would heal faster than if they'd tried to save it, which may not have succeeded anyway. He should be back to normal in a couple of months

Never fear, however, John is not allowing his new handicap to slow him down. He will take only two days (Edit: hah! more like two months!) off from work, during which he will undergo intense physical rehabilitation using a high tech computer program known as "Counter-Strike."
