I saw somewhere recently a Stewardess posted that they had 23 wheelchair users get on the plane but only needed 5 when it landed.

Pat, I would like to solve the puzzle. 😁
Each chair rider has 8 family members with them too, each with 2 oversized carry-ons🤣🤣

Well, a left hand ring finger was worth 1250$...as determined by my government job's temporary disability BS.

Two payments of 625...cheap bastards wouldn't even send a check for the total.

"Bitch, I work with my hands! How about this: Would you take 1200 bucks to let me lop off one of your fingers?"

I shit you not, the state of California has a pricing list for lost digits and appendages. Dominant side weak side...
I said screw it, lawyers cost too much and I had to get back to work.

Idiotic. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Seems everyday it’s something more extreme(?) if that’s even the right word.

Sucks for those that are truly handicapped, that want to get better and/or be healthy, normal human beings.

Thats exactly what's wrong, it dilutes the need for the people that deserve help, I've started looking at everyone getting on a plane with suspicion and it shouldn't be like that.

Fucking instantly. Such a relief!

I hope to never Ever have to that again!!!
Me too, this time around the pain wasn't horrible and started to subside after about an hour so I didn't have to make a hole in my nail

In much the same way those that abuse pain killers have made it difficult for those that actually need it. Or, as a few idiots with guns have made idiots in office make it difficult for the rest.

I'll add the service dog thing also, something with such noble intentions gets abused by people with no moral fiber or character.

In the oilfield most drilling contractors have specific amounts for digits, and it varies from knuckle to knuckle and goes up or down depending on if it’s your favored side, like right or left handed.
Also, opposing side digits or partial limb amputations are worth more than same side injuries.
So like a left toe and right finger pays more than same side.
Toes start out around $5K as I recall, fingers are more.
Full limbs go up into the tens or higher.

worked in a metal stamping plant in the 60s it was referred to as "THE FINGER FACTORY" dont recall the actual amounts paid for digits but a lot of the people working there were very poor and they said there were more than a few cases when money was tight and and people inserted a finger in a press for the cash
