That is the best solution he could come up with? May as well have shot himself to end the suffering as a solution, not induce more pain. ---

-reaching for a shop vac attatchment whilst cleaning -got arm caught in vents behind furnace -tried to pull out but only caught and cut up his arm -more he pulled, more it cut/swelled -super fucked -heard microwave beeping every 5 minutes -12 hours later he stopped his gay screaming and though of macyguyverish ways to fix the problem -drank rusty water -started cutting his arm off after smelling rotting flesh -after almost making it through rescue finally came because he missed his gay softball game -cutting off his arm saved him from further infection -will now continue on with his life one armed THE END ---

if you reverse the story you will see riiight in the beginning where this could have been avoided. when you drop shit way down deep in the car when your working on it, do you jamb your arm in to grab it? NOPE, I grabe a magnetic pickup or a stick to knock the fallen piece out. The guy should have just gotten a flash light and something to fish it out with. if its only an arms length deep, I am sure there was a much better way to remove the thing. I wish they showed a pic of where in the thing it fell and what exactly he stuck his meat paw into. ---

The article said they wripped the furnace apart and i’m sure what was left of it wasn’t a pretty site to see with the mess the guy made from trying to saw his arm off. ---
