A man suffering from an itchy wart on his finger decided to remove it... using a 12-bore Beretta.
While the technique undoubtedly succeeded in removing the wart it also managed to blow his finger clean off. The man later received a 16-week suspended sentence for the illegal possession of a firearm.
Sean of Doncaster, South Yorks, said: “I’m happy with that. The best thing is the wart has gone. It was giving me a lot of trouble. “It was as big as my thumbnail. I’d tried all sorts of things, but it wouldn’t go. I didn’t expect to lose my finger – there was nothing left of it. ”

I was in misery the entire treatment period. I could not hold anything with an... [More]

the guy gives a new meaning to the word "IDIOT". No kidding. What was this guy thinking? Hasn't he ever heard of a doctor? People like this are so stupid, they make stupid people appear to be brilliant.

I had to get a wart removed with liquid nitrogen before. After it was done the doc and I were playing with it by throwing it around on the floor and submerging pens, paper, etc. into it. Good times. LOL, damn! Too bad you didn't have a clip of that, it'd be a hit on youtube.
