I broke my finger in a race once. It’s really hard to explain to others.
mostly i was trying to get out of work (i type for a living) so i could watch super bowl. boss assured me i could just not use any of the affected letters. damn.
I also type for a living. Thank God it was a pinky, which is a useless finger in any occupation.
