I read a funny story in the Guardian the other day. It said that a man in Brazil who was in massive debt chopped his own hand off to claim insurance money. He did this by telling the police that while he was on his way to buy an ice cream, a gang attacked him, chopping his hand off with an axe.
So the man addmitted that he had in fact paid his mate 100 dollars to chop his hand off. However, i thought the best bit was a quite from the mans wife who said that: "It was a stupid thing to do. We are still in debt but now he only has one hand."
i can see it now: C: Antonio, are you sure you want me to do this? A: Of course, Caetano, (rubbing hands together in a crafty manner -for the last time) if this plan suceeds its 'bye bye creditors' forever! Now quick! Let me finish my drink and then we'll get chopping! C: OK Antonio, i suppose you know what you want.... oh the hilarity. couldn't resist. sk +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
