I agree on calling bullshit here.
But on a side note, a buddy of mine did have his middle finger shot off when he was 12 in a dove hunting accident. His dad was handing him the gun and it went off, You really only notice it if he makes a joke about it. He put on a golf glove one time and made some comment about it just didn't quite fit right, so everyone turned to look and see the middle finger slot empty, funny as hell. I am kinda attached to my fingers, but 1m is tempting.
