Stick Your Finger In There...

Wal-Mart Worker 'Fingered' in Oval Table

A little goofing off during a break from work led to a time-consuming, embarrassing ordeal for a Wal-Mart employee. Authorities said the man got his right index finger stuck in an oval-shaped hole of a cast-iron picnic table outside the store.

Co-workers tried in vain to help the man get free before help was summoned. A half-dozen firefighters and emergency workers responded.

They freed the man by cutting a square out of the tabletop, then slicing through the metal around his finger.

Friedel says the man told him it was an act of "stupidity."
