Four Finger Brown

[vansaad]

On the topic of mutilated digits, one of my neighbors growing up was a destroyer commander during World War II who survived a kamikaze hit that killed everyone else on the bridge because he was wearing his flak vest and helmet. Talking to him a while ago, I noticed he was missing part of a finger. I asked him if that was related to the attack, and he said no, that was from the Battle of the Yamaha; Yamaha being the company that manufactured his lawnmower. He'll be 104 this summer; perhaps the good doctor can comment on the link between missing fingers and longevity.

An amputee would be quite optimistic to expect to live until 104.

I have learned though that there are actually amputation injury lawyers and I’ll bet their statistics claim decreased longevity in the long run.

Apparently we're all at risk of amputation unless we call this guy.

It works. I called him and no amputations since.

But you'll have fun, fun, fun 'til Basel takes your finger away.

All I know is we should all make that call or else suffer inevitable amputation.

Perhaps not, but Dr. Basel Refai has only one i.

If so, the optics are not good for this doctor and his billboard.

Sounds like an amazing fellow with stories for days.
