Lafayette, Colorado - A little goofing off during a break from work led to a time-consuming, embarrassing ordeal for a Wal-Mart employee. Authorities said the man got his right index finger stuck in an oval-shaped hole of a cast-iron picnic table outside the store.

Co-workers tried in vain to help the man get free before help was summoned. A half-dozen firefighters and emergency workers responded.

They freed the man by cutting a square out of the tabletop, then slicing through the metal around his finger.

The Lafayette Fire Department Assistant Chief said the man was OK, except for being upset, shaking and embarrassed about the ordeal.

The man told him it was an act of "stupidity."

AHAHAHAHAH! Just another reason I dislike wal-mart....

Bet he'll be careful about where he sticks his fingers from now on

Shoot! He ruined a perfectly good picnic table, they should of cut off his finger.
