| No. But only because the fiscal gain is outweighed by the sacrifice involved. Call it a million and we're on. |

At the second knuckle.
You can keep it in a matchbox, but no trying to sew it back on, and no prosthetics.
No anaesthetic, but it'd be a quick *WHACK!* and off she comes, probably wouldn't even feel it.
You can choose left or right hand. |

| No prosthetics. How are you going to enforce that? I'd just flip you my remaining bird and get something in grey pvc pipe. |

you sign a binding contract before the chop agreeing to a 50,000 fine if you are caught wearing a prosthetic.
Maybe 50,000 is a bit low, but what do you really do with that finger that you can't do with the one knuckle stump? |

No. I'm very attached to my middle fingers. I use them to answer my critics. Flashing the stump wouldn't be quite as effective.
Hmmm....then again...
In any case, I'd cut off somebody ELSE'S middle finger for a lot less than that. |

What if I lost both hands in a tragic bagel dough-rolling machine accident?
How much money could I get? |

Just don't take her pinky or there'd be nothing to stick out when she sips tea. |

There is a movie with Bruce Willies, but the point is that you hack off someone elses finger for a smaller amount.

Actually, I read that for labourers, a pinky loss payout is actually higher than for an index finger.
It's the "stabilizing" finger when holding heavy tools. Otherwise, it's hard to get the right kind of grip. |
