Touré Loses His Hand

Touré was strapped to a chair, blindfolded, his right hand bound tight to the armrest with a rubber tube. A doctor came and administered a shot.

Praise be Allah.

 

I draw the line at toes.

 

This headline is more misleading than "What if Michael Vick were white?"

 

Yeah, it would be nice if we could resolve in 2013 to explain threads in either the headline or the post, but that seems to be too difficult.

 

I have no hand-- no hand at all. She has the hand; I have *no* hand... [/Costanza]

 

He should have broken up with her -- a preemptive breakup:

GEORGE: I have no power Do you understand? I need hand. I have no hand.

KRAMER: Break up with her

GEORGE: What?

KRAMER: You break up with her. You reverse everything that way.

JERRY: A preemptive breakup.

GEORGE: A preemptive breakup. This is an incredible idea. I got nothing to lose. We either break up which she would do anyway but at least I go out with some Dignity. Completely turn the tables. It's absolutely brilliant.

 

Did you read the story? What is not clear about the thread title?

 

Yes, he lost his left hand. So he's going to be all right.

 

"You can't break up with me! I have hand!"
"And you're going to need it."

 

For me it was unclear who the guy was, where this happened, why whatever was in the link was something newsworthy I should read.

 

Made me click on it.
