i asked the sous chef at my restaurant a few weeks ago how he had come to be missing the tip of his left pinky finger. He said that a few years back he was working at a meat joint and had a helpless crush on one of the female managers. One day, while being video taped by the monitor ont he wall, he is cutting filets the butcher room. The manager walks in says hi to him, and keeps walking by. He replies to her, keeps looking at her as she walks away, keeps cutting, and cuts right through the tip of his pinky. He said that it was even more embarassing to see it again on tape, because no guy in the store ever let him live it down that he was missing the tip due to checking out the boss.
