Finger Tip

Ummm, ow.

NEW YORK (Ananova) — A vandal who knocked over headstones in a US cemetery left police a small but important clue – his finger.

Police found the finger end stuck between two toppled gravestones in the cemetery in Fleming, New York state.

Officers, who say a total of 53 headstones were knocked over, later arrested a man missing a finger.

He has been charged with criminal mischief, criminal trespass and cemetery desecration, reports 13WHAM-TV.

The story fails to mention how this guy severed a part of his finger and why he didn’t realize he had a part of it missing. Did he bite a hangnail for too long or something?

And why didn’t he go back and get it? Did he think, “Nah, it’s alright, I got nine others. The doctor can just do a transplant on one of them.”

Of course, when they found the “one non-fingered” man, he tried to weasel out of his crimes by claiming he accidentally cut off his fingertip while working the meat slicer at Blimpie and losing it in a double meat roast beef sub.
