Sean Murphy of South Yorkshire, England, tried to remove a wart from his finger the old-fashioned way... with a gun. Murphy was at work when he aimed a stolen 12-bore Beretta shotgun at the offending wart. He ended up shooting off most of his middle finger.
Murphy was arrested for theft of the gun and other firearms charges. Prosecutors said alcohol was involved. Link -via Arbroath
But he said: “The best thing is that the wart has gone. It was giving me lot of trouble.”
Murphy, a security officer at Markham Grange Nurseries, Brodsworth, at the time of the incident in March, has since lost his job. He had suffered with the wart on the joint closest to the tip of his middle finger for more than five years.
He said: “It was hurting a lot and causing my finger to bend. I’d been to the doctors and tried all sorts of things but it wouldn’t go.
“I didn’t expect to lose my finger as well when I shot it but the gun recoiled and that was it. The wart was gone and so was most of my finger. There was nothing left, so no chance to re-attach it.”

That's good, I'd hate to think a sober person could be that stupid.
