Sliced my finger open preparing dinner tonight

[Devo37]

Goddamnit!! I sliced a piece of my damn finger off tonight slicing an onion with one of these mandolin slicer things:

where the frak did that stupid safety handle thing go that would have prevented this?!? i don't know what happened to it, but i figured i was enough of a grown up to operate a kitchen utensil. apparently, i figured wrong!

i was bleeding like an animal, and i don't even have a decent band-aid to cover it, so i have it wrapped with a piece of paper towel and electrical tape. stings like sh!t!!!!

and it's my right hand index finger, which i use for just about everything. this sucks!!!

looks like 2009 is gonna be a hell of a year! :furious:

[TooLowBrow]

you gotta

you know it! perhaps the only enjoyable part of the entire ordeal.

[donnie_darko]

fuck i'm starving

earl got any right index finger back there?

[TooLowBrow]

i cut my fingers up all the time. i always use paper towels and electrical tape. im surprised the band-aid companies havent started selling sterile paper towels and pre-cut band-aid sized electrical tape.
although is best if you use a lot of tape, and pretend that your finger is in a tiny plastic cast

there's a noticeable flatness to the tip of my index finger. it's not like i chopped off a whole knuckle, but it's gonna take a while for this to heal.

/i miss my finger flesh :sad:

I use Crazy Glue...just the way nature intended.

Sorry to hear that.
Those mandolins always scare me on the Iron Chef. I always yell out "Be Careful!"

did you look outside to see if vampires and zombies started gathering ??

[Farmer Dave]

I have that exact slicer and the thing is wicked evil. It the exact timeyou think you can take one more swipe, shit there goes a finger. It does cut very cleanly though.

[JAH1013]

pour some vodka on it to disinfect, then squeeze a lime in it to clot the bleeding. oh, and this is going to hurt so you might want to take a shot beforehand. this will work quickly, but it's definitely going to sting. be a man!
