Very similar to the "carpenter" story. I was a woodworker for 4 years a while back, and my uncle, who I worked for, had MANY friends in the business. We got a visit one day from a friend of his who had moved to california and was an assistant foreman or something for a construction company. one of the day-laborers rushed over to the boss one day because one of them had hurt himself with a table saw. they got there to find out that he had cut his thumb off.
When the boss asked him how, he proceeded to demonstrate, literally, with the other hand. I guess you cant blame the guy, he was trying to keep his job, and he performed admirably :)
I have many MANY from my days working on a helpdesk, more to come :D
