    First of all, screw the toe.

    About one hour ago, a (roughly) 400 pound electric motor got placed on the fingernail of my middle finger on my right hand.

    Blood everywhere.

    I have it tightly wrapped in two bandaids right now.

    Do I leave it alone, and let the fingernail fall off.........remove the fingernail.....go to a doctor (shut up)

    The nail didn't break or crack, and there is no pressure underneath, but somamabitch, does it hurt.

    Took 1500 mg of Bayer......

    Help a chef out here, por favor.

    That nail will fall off eventually. Might not hurt to get some x-rays or something. I've lost both nails on my middle finger in the past, and they come back feeling slightly differently than the rest for some reason. At least if you bite your nails like I do.

    Dude, I hope your typing with one hand.

    Go to the ER. Better to be safe than sorry.

    Chef, you're my boy and all, but I have to ask you a question:

    What the hell is your problem?

    lol.

    As long as you've known me, you know that I've never been the most graceful of cats.

    But, I assure you, I was not trying to drop a fucking motor on my finger.

    It took one punch of the k key to realize that this finger is NSFT right now. (Not safe for typing)

    Chef,

    This would only happen to you. It's the holidays. Crack open a beer, and prepare for the Motor City Bowl.

    At this rate, Chef has a bright future as the next drummer for Def Leppard.

    Good Lord, man.

    Quit drinking while you still have most of your digits.

    Some advice -- let the injured finger be the only one sticking up when you show your boss the injury
