Michigan man’s finger gets stuck in gas tank

[GLF]

Emergency responders called in to extricate appendage in 4-hour ordeal

SAGINAW, Mich. - A Michigan man has learned not to stick his fingers in certain places.

Victor Harris, of Saginaw, Mich., was pouring a fuel additive into his Lincoln Navigator sport utility vehicle Thursday when a piece of paper fell into the gas tank. Harris tried to fish the paper out, but his index finger became stuck in the gas tank.

WJRT-TV reported Harris tried to extract his digit for two hours before friends called the fire department. It took another two hours before emergency responders cut the gas tank tube out of the vehicle.

Doctors later removed Harris' finger from the tube. He received two stitches.

Harris said he's learned his lesson and won't put his finger back in the gas tank.

Story...

I thought you guys on the East side of the state were smarter than that?

I saw that on the news, what an idiot. The fire department really tore up his fender to get to the gas fill tube to cut him loose.

That's not as bad as one other Saginaw Idiot, that got caught by police, for doing something immoral with a car wash vacuum. This one gives a whole or maybe hole new meaning to the phrase, "That Sucks". I just read about it a few days ago in the Saginaw News.

I tell ya these crazy people in Saginaw:no: I gotta ask my cousin about this one as he joined the Saginaw FD about a year ago. Too funny
