Finger Food

I hate to run this Osama bin Laden thing into the ground cable news style but I’m still kind of riding a high from Sunday’s announcement.

It kind of cheered me up after a long slump of bad news. I hope it’s done the same thing for everyone including this poor chap from New Zealand who recently became so depressed he cut off, cooked and ate his own finger.

I’ve heard of comfort food but that usually includes candy, cookies and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, not human fingers. Apparently this guy, Mr. X, became so upset that he tied a ribbon around his finger, cut it off with a jigsaw and then cooked it with some vegetables, which is odd because I didn’t know you were supposed to serve side dishes with finger foods.

The man originally enjoyed his delicious finger so much that he had planned to cut off and eat two more the next day but stopped either "because of its debilitating effect" or because he had a fingernail caught in his throat the rest of the night.

P.S. – Anyone wanting to try cooked finger would be well advised to marinate the finger by picking their nose for an hour.
