A Sad Predicament, From Welsh newsapaper, Evening Express 1896.

.......................

A buddy of mine who was 'fond of a drop' was drunk and playing with his dog. The dog got frisky and bit off the tip of my friend's nose and swallowed it. True story.

I used to work with a man who lost his thumb in a construction accident. The doctors used his big toe to replace the thumb, hairy knuckle and all!

I discovered this the hard way when I lost a bet regarding whether or not he could drink a beer with his big toe on his forehead. I chose as most would being young and naive and ended up buying a round for the whole gang!

Between this and the monkey barber article I have concluded that newspapers were far more fun to read in the late 1800's.

I swear it wasn't me. Which is easily proven by the fact that I NEVER shave with a shirt on.

Hopefully you are wearing pants. You don't want to have to drop trou to blow your nose.

Being a Welshman myself that story somehow does not surprise me, they certainly have a sense of humor in Wales.

Haha, fun!
I've been carrying my right ear in my pocket for a day, they got it on but it looks a little battle worn.
