amputee appreciation
 

So everyone seems to be posting about wierd topics they are passionate about. I decided to do the same.

This thread was inspired by how I served a coffee to a man who is a double below the elbow amputee. He was an insanely coold old, short man who looked like a stereotypical homeless person. At first he had his nubs in his pocket and I still though he was cool but then he got out his money and carried his coffee using his little nubs. i was a little repulsed for a second. I've always loved amputees but had never seen one in person. After that I was like "Dear God, that's fucking awesome!" best day ever.

Soo post pictures of some fancy amputations or tell stories or something. Here's one to start you off. http://nmhm.washingtondc.museum/exhi...tation2_lg.jpg

oops:o

I snorted out pepsi when I read that...

its either very slow on here today or I'm more original than I thought.

I'm soooo there with you. I dig the amputees.

A good friend of mine lost his ring finger in an industrial accident and everyone thinks (including me) that it's sexy as hell.

wow. that gave me a good laugh.:p

amputees are gross, sorry

thats tasteful.

Well actually I have a nice story for you, I'm sure you'll appreciate it. 3 years ago me and my father were splitting wood with a hydrolic wood splitter. And he get his finger caught, and it got taken off at the second knuckle. I had to bring him into the house, and wash and wrap up his nub, so he could go to the hospital. oooh it was so gross. the muscle and skin and stuff was torn to shreds, there was this hunk of stuff hanging off that he ripped off, while I was cleaning it, I could actually see the marrow in the bone. It was probably the goriest thing that I've personally been there to see.
