I was in a fight one of the last nights I was drinking, and well, in the process the guy i was brawling with attempted to bite off my left pointer finger, near succeeded, and I couldn't play for a few weeks.
True story, welcome to the streets of new york.
It is still permanently bent and scarred, but, I can play with it.
Lessons learned today don't loose your pointer fingers for any reason, and be sober like me now a days. HOLLAAAAA.
