It turns out that I know a fair few people who don't have all their fingers. A couple of females (one a friend of my mother-in-law, one a sister of a mate) who lost fingers in lawn mowers when they were kids. My mate Paul who lost part of his little finger when he worked in steel fabricating, and my old Grandad who lost half his ring finger on a meat slicer in the grocers shop he worked in.
He's been dead for over 25 years, but I'm still counting him.
I also have a mate I haven't seen for a couple of years and my ex-boss who had little Beadlehands.
I make that 6 people either with not all their fingers or gammy hands. Seems like a lot. Am I cursed with knowing too many people with fucked up hands? Or is it a common thing? Help me answer this question please scientists of the GF. Have you got all your fingers? Can you beat my friendmonghand count?
