VIENNA (Reuters) - An unemployed Austrian man sawed his foot off, apparently to avoid being found fit to go back to work.
Hours before an appointment on Monday for the labor office to check on his health, the 56-year-old man held his left leg against an electric saw in his home workshop and severed his foot just above the ankle, Austrian broadcaster ORF reported.
Bleeding profusely, the man from the province of Styria then threw the foot into an oven, hobbled to his garage and called an ambulance. An emergency operation was unable to reattach the foot, ORF said.

well he was committed to the effort of not going in so i give him an A for that but if I was his wife I'd be shoving that foot right up his a$$ and then he'd have a whole different set of probs on his hands
The pain and shock that comes from losing a limb, And people do this to themselves! Yikes.
