Our Benefit Scroungers could learn a thing or two from this guy
Our Scroungers in the UK have no imagination compared to this guy
Man saws off foot
Is there a kind of Darwin equivalent for this kind of thing?

Good luck getting this claim processed. He doesn't have a leg to stand on.

He's certainly going to come in last in next year's "Ass Kicking Contest."

The man was flown to hospital in Graz, where he was said to be in a stable condition.
Providing, he was leaning against a wall.

IMO a bit of an overkill - sort've like sawing off
one's dick to avoid having to shag one's missus.

Yes, this appeared on Sky News - only their viewers would be dimwitted enough to need a picture of a circular saw to know what it was. And even then....

I bet his leg is saw. You'd have to be a heel to do that - was there a height requirement he was trying to avoid, as he is now a foot shorter?
They do good things with prosthetics these days, so he will be ready for work in about six weeks, anyway - although sawing off the next one will be easier.

Least going forward the Guberment will only have to give him have a footwear allowance and some varnish for the wooden leg...
