Man Loses Fingers in Quest for Girlfriend
[story.news.yahoo.com...]
"Charles Gonsoulin, 41, will have the fingers and toes amputated because of severe frostbite suffered during a 100-hour trek from Pembina, North Dakota, across the border to Emerson, Manitoba, where he was found wandering on a golf course on Feb. 23, suffering from hypothermia.

"It is better to have loved and to have lost than never to have loved at all," the Sun quoted Gonsoulin as saying. "It was all worth it for me. It's the difference between sitting around dreaming about things and going out and getting them."

That's you? I don't know whether to give you a standing ovation or a brotherly smack upside the head and ask "what were you thinking?" :-)

But if it's you, how are you posting this from jail?

I was joking. I'm not that stupid. I would've robbed another store and send her the ticket ;)

...unless you're the girlfriend or lawyer mentioned in the story..;-)

If you're Charles Gonsoulin, my God! I sincerely hope that it really is all worth it.

Haha... had me too. Then (like others) in the middle of the story I realized that you DO type well without any fingers!

This was ALMOST natural selection at work haha.
