Man separates from wife — and his ring finger
Austrian doesn’t regret presenting digit to his ex-wife after divorce

VIENNA - A Viennese man cut off his ring finger and presented the digit, still holding his wedding band, to his ex-wife after an acrimonious divorce, Austrian news agency APA reported Tuesday.

Charged with dangerous harassment and assault for the act, he told a preliminary hearing he did not regret having cut off the finger and had chosen deliberately not to reattached it.

“It was an act of breaking free,” the man was quoted as saying. He did not miss his finger, could work well without it and did not plan on getting married again anyway, he said.

1. Was it his MIDDLE finger? Actually, that's the one he REALLY wanted to give her --

How disgusting can you get?

Second only to a horse head in the bed via the Mafia!

2. What next, he'll find someone he loves even more, and then

finds a ring to put on the one remaining place of significance left?

What happens when he wants to separate himself from her, bobbitize himself?! :wow:

The guy's a nut. And not in a good way!

3. Oh, no way. He is showing unbelievable passion and going

so way beyond the norm you just have to be in awe.

4. So what's next?

Cutting off his ear and sending it to her with a note: '...love to hear from you!'
