Common sense had successfully eluded Fred’s wheelhouse. This became evident when he accepted a dare issued by his so-called friend, Elmer.

“Yo, Fred.” Elmer flipped the switch on the garbage disposal. “I dare you to stick your finger in there.”

Fred thought for a moment. “No, way! You think I’m stoopid?”

Elmer raised an eyebrow. “I double dog dare ya.”

The garbage disposal was calling Fred’s name. He couldn’t resist! He was powerless before it.

“Okay,” Fred acquiesced. “But only for a minute.”

Elmer grinned. “Up to you.”

To Fred’s chagrin, he incurred a traumatizing injury to his index finger when he inserted it into the running garbage disposal. Elmer was kind enough to dial 911 as he was afraid Fred might bleed out and mess up his kitchen.

The paramedics arrived followed by the police. Fred was rushed to the hospital and the bleeding was stopped. But unfortunately, the finger was so badly mangled it could not be reattached.

Once the press got a hold of the story, it made national news. Elmer was hailed as a hero for saving Fred’s life. As well, a law was enacted making it illegal to put anything in any garbage disposal, running or not, aside from food. It was called the “Fred Finger Law.”

When asked for a comment Fred managed, his voice thick with tears, “You da man, Elmer. God bless ya.”
