I had a First Sergeant that I deployed with to Iraq. He had 1/2 if his index finger cut off in an accident years prior. We were getting in line for food and when we came to the dessert line, he held his finger up and asked for "one piece of cheese cake". The guy working in the DFAC spoke little or no English. He cut the piece of cheese cake in half and gave it to my First Sergeant.
My dad cut the tip of his thumb off with a table saw. The ambulance then got stuck in our driveway due to the snow. My mom had to get it out for them. When they got to the hospital they gave my dad the choice of getting his thumb reattached. The catch was he had to get a helicopter to the city. He asked if the same guys from the ambulance would be in the helicopter? The doctor said yes. My dad hasn’t won a thumb war since.
