Man saws off own foot to continue receiving unemployment benefits

  • Fab1b
    Wow, and the kicker:
    according to the paper, being footless does not necessarily qualify Url for unemployment compensation.

    The saw:
  • dwccrew
    Well, he can certainly put his foot in his mouth now with that idea.
  • Fab1b
    For all my fans out there as well, sorry it wasn't a head!! :)

    You know you're lazy when...
  • DeyDurkie5
    He was probably black
  • THE4RINGZ
    Some people work too hard at avoiding work.

    Black people don't own tools.

    Edit- I suppose they could steal them.

    Holy shit. How would you even be able to get inside to the kitchen and then still be able to communicate what happened to emergency services? I would think your body would put you into a coma from the shock.

    Sounds like a resonable thing to do.

    Hans Url, a 56-year-old from Mitterlabill, then took the foot and cooked it in the oven so doctors could not reattach it.
    Dafuq?

    The best part...

    I point to this as an example of anyone claiming unemployment provides incentive not to work! That is one motivated moron!

    From the comments:
    He can work at IHop.
    LOL
  • oletiger
    Hope the saw didn`t kick back.
  • ichsnjb
    The funny thing is: having his foot cut off doesn't qualify him for unemployment compensation.
  • THE4RINGZ
    I imagine his disability claim should also be denied as this was a self inflicted injury.

    Yeah, if he was smart he would have gotten a construction job and THEN cut-off his foot while on the clock. Lazy AND stupid.
  • oletiger
    measure twice cut once.. too soon?
  • THE4RINGZ
    What is better for cutting off a limb? The fine tooth plywood blade or a rugged ripping blade?
  • mella
    Why is the blade so clean? I would expect a bigger mess on the blade itself.
  • oletiger
    i wood suggest a plywood blade but put tape on the backside to reduce the chip out.
