Topic: Judge Sam's thumb sliced off, reattached. Bribe booze helps recovery!
The week after Judge Sam worked the Campaign To Prevent Gingervitis, a workplace table-saw mishap resulted in the removal of half of his right thumb, right through the joint. He found the thumb, put it on ice, and got to the hospital, where they reattached it (if you insist on seeing the doctors' handiwork and have a strong stomach, go here). The top joint had to be fused, but otherwise it appears that the reattachment will work out fine. They make 'em tough in Savage, MN, and Sam no doubt experienced worse pain after bar fights during his years as an oil rig worker in Wyoming, but he says that his stash of bribe booze is making the recovery process much more enjoyable.
So, to all you Gingerman racers who provided Judge Sam with jugs-o-Scotch: thanks!
