I read this article that tells us which finger we should sacrifice if kidnappers were to chop off a finger, and they said that it's best to sacrifice the index finger, even though it's one of the most important fingers, we can still have a strong grasp on objects. Anyway, enough of that, this thread is asking what digit would you sacrifice if you were in such a position? Pick one.
We've got the thumb, index, middle, ring, and pinky.

What a cheery topic for me to wake up to in the morning
Erm... I guess the pinky finger. By finger, do we mean the entire finger or just like the tip, of half?
I voted before reading the OP because NARF. Good thing I agree with my choice. I can still play guitar fingerstyle and without my pinky. Plus PC games. Texting. Drawing. Andbedroom things.
*giggles*
Fingerstyle ..
Well, let's break this down:
Thumb--Doing anything without your thumb is a damn struggle. Opposable thumbs are awesome.
Index finger--I point at things a lot and I use touchscreen phones and the touchscreen menu at Wawa.
Middle finger--I use this a lot for driving.
Ring finger--I guess if I get married someday! Although I don't use it much on my right hand, but I write right handed.
Pinky--They're just smurfing awesome?
I guess I'd have to go with the pinky on my left hand.
You can still use your middle finger for most of those things, granted it'll take some adjustments.Quote:

To summarize: the first finger on the hand you don't use for writing is the least important finger, and the fourth toe on the foot you don't use to kick a soccer ball is probably your least important toe.
Ring finger because the first 3 are for precision and I need the pinky for full opposition and cupping of the hand. :)).
Yeah you can take that ring finger because little do they know but cutting it off allows me to assume my final form.

None.
cuz that mofo will be dead before he can cut off my fingers.
That's right. I will murder him. I will murder him dead. DEAD I SAY.
Suprisingly enough i was thinking about this in the way home from Edinburgh. I type with my Thumb, INdex, middle and pinky. And play games with the former three. I couldn't decide on a concrete use for my Ring finger in day to day life. Also gets in they way when I drink tea
I'd let my kidnappers know that no one ever would be providing ransom so they can A) let me go and try someone else or B) kill me.
Hum, that's a question I hope I'll never get-
Well, I'd direct my supposed kidnappers to proceed to chop off one of my toes instead, and if they'd refuse, yeah I'd go for the pinky one; I'd be sad not to play guitar properly, but other than this, it's a pretty useless finger, lbr.
I voted left middle, but I think it's a toss up between middle and ring on that hand. I play guitar and I need my index more than those two.
Don't be silly. I'm not cute and young enough to kidnap.
Ring finger, so I can hold up my cards and look like Franky smurfin' Four-Fingers.
Bah...take what you want I'll become an android and get a bazooka hand anyways.
Get the smurf away from my god damn gaming fingers. I know the thumbs are the star performers but I have bumpers to hit too you know. So long, ring!
