Just when I thought I had heard everything...

My manager awakens me this a.m. with an "extreme emergency."  It seems that a guest was, for some unknown reason, attempting to move a slate pool table.  In the process of doing so, the pool table supposedly fell on one of the guest's fingers, it severed the finger, and they were off to the hospital.  How horrific.  My manager was in a panic.  

I said "let's talk to the guest a bit more and go and actually survey the scene before we go drawing any conclusions."  I talked to the guest, trying to get more info. on what happened, and I couldn't get her nailed down as to whether a portion of the finger had actually been severed.  "just the tip, less than an inch.  they will probably just give her a tetanus shot."  

Hmm.  Is that what they do when you sever a limb?  "My manager is going by the cabin...is the pool table still broken?"  "No", she replies, "they set it back up."   Hmmm.  So we have a medical emergency with a severed limb, and folks are worried about setting the pool table back up?  

She told me "the kids are afraid to go down into the game room because of the pool table."  I told her "I'll get someone by to check on the pool table and fix it if necessary." 

This all sounds incredibly bizarre, with a lot of missing information.

That's better than giving them the finger, figuratively and literally.
