Would you chop one of your fingers off for $50K?

If not how much would it take?

I change my answer. I'll cut off all my fingers and quite possibly a toe if IvyRose ditches her boyfriend and runs away with me to rotary heaven.

I'd give up the last knuckle of the right little finger for 50K. As long as it were done surgically, not like those Iraq torture videos. The whole finger for 250K. Got a bit of arthritis in that one anyway.

I wouldn't go any lower than $2,000,000 for my left pinkie. I'd pluck my eyebrows for $50k. For $200 you can have some *** hair.

Sure, i'd find a laser sharpened knife, cut my pinky off, get my payment, and surgically re-attach it. Voila, all 10 fingers , 2 months of rehab and 40k.

No way I would chop off my finger for that money. I would surgically chop it off for about $10,000,000. And only left pinky.

I would say right little finger (pinky). I play golf, and that one just overlaps anyway; I need the left one to grip the club. Same with a baseball bat. If you are holding a gun, particularly one of the mini Glocks, that one is not gripping anyway. With most things, I find myself gripping with the left hand, and using the right for delicate actions, but the right little finger is not required for anything other than being a base (support) for the "action fingers" thumb through four; occasionally the left pinky is useful for extra grip strength.

I may be biased because my right little finger is slightly deformed and almost a cm shorter than the left (childhood injury), maybe I just learned to do things that way. But that is the one I would lose. Sometimes it has hurt so bad after a stretch of sports activities that I have thought about cutting it off anyway.

Yeah, I gotta admit: I stole that one from the Simpson's episode in which Homer has his arm caught in the vending machine. When the rescue workers inform him they will have to saw off his arm in order to free him, he asks "But it'll grow back, right?"
