The Middle Finger

Last week, my friend came home with a swollen middle finger. When asked about the reason, he said he did not know. I don't buy the vague insect-bite theory. Why would the insect choose the middle finger of his right hand, of all places.

So the swelling did not subside for two days and he went to the doctor. A surgery was suggested. While his finger was cut, and bad blood was being removed, he held up his finger and shouted ''M*****..." at the top of his voice. He couldn't have been in so much pain, especially after anesthesia, but I guess it was his idea to use the surgery as a pretext to get back to the cruel world.

Since the surgery yesterday, he has to go to the hospital every 4 hours for an anti-biotic injection. And after each dressing, he is suggested to keep his finger up, lest the blood flows and causes infection. He feels awkward keeping the middle finger up. This amuses me. Had I been in his place, I would have flaunted it.

Anyways, there is one good thing which came out of all this. When his boss asks him to work, he shows him the finger. There is a long deliberate pause before he remarks in a cheeky tone - ''I cannot type''.

I had my own doubts on the source of this infection but after witnessing the pendulous trips to Image Hospital, I have no choice but to believe what Ditch Says.

Surprisingly, you've been chauffeuring him even when he shows you his middle finger every now and then!

Wah kya pyaar hai ;-)

not many get a chance to show the middle finger to the world without being affected by the consequences that may follow...

so ditch... its the right time to give it back to Pankaj n Nitin n many others...including panju :P

Dont forget to try the trick on chics... after all size does matter... doesnt matter how it comes whether its swollen or just natural ;)
