"I've just cut my arm off"

Cool customer...

Man cuts arm off with chainsaw - mirror.co.uk

A man who sliced his arm off in a freak chainsaw accident calmly knocked on his next door neighbour's door and said: "Please help, I've just cut my arm off,".


...and pastry helped save the day...

BBC NEWS | England | Sussex | Man lost arm in chainsaw accident

"I just went up the road and got the arm, put it in a bag and put it in with some pastry".
(Steve Francis)

I'm glad the neighbor was able to give him a hand.

Was that an intended pun, Njaco? Still, I suppose it was 'armless!

Would like to thank the surgeon for his hand-i-work. OK, you can ban me for that one if you like.
I had a cousin sever his lower arm in a Auger on the farm long ago, Doc was able to re-attach but it was not pretty. Thankfully has full use of the arm and fingers. It simply amazes me what a Surgeon can do.

You guys are cruel!

For the record, the forearm attachment was a complete success and early reports indicate that he can "wriggle" all six fingers...
