Man eats own toes

An Austrian man cut off his toes, fried them up and ate them between two slices of bread after getting high sniffing butane gas.

When ambulance men arrived he offered to share his meal with them, passing over a toe and saying: "It tastes like chicken, do you want some, there's a few still left over."

Police said the 35-year-old suddenly became very hungry after sniffing the gas and had searched all his kitchen cupboards, but found nothing to eat.

Grabbing a kitchen knife he cut off his toes on his left foot and dropped them in the frying pan.

The man's sister called the police when she walked into the kitchen and saw him making the toe sandwich.

By the time ambulance men arrived there was little of the hacked-off toes left and a spokesman said: "What there was, was too badly burned to re-attach."

A police spokesman added: "He told the ambulance men that he had more toes than he needed and didn't think he would notice if he got rid of a few."

He was taken to a hospital in Steyr where he is recovering from his injuries.

I had a client once

a high school grad headed for Harvard.

He compulsively gnawed the callouses off his feet.

Wasn't my idea of delicious.

Not THAT hungry!

[rattrap]

Never, ever, ever get high off butane kids...

[colorado tanker]

I wonder if he had a good hot sauce.

Probably put toe jam on 'em.

I'd say it was probably a good thing he had his pants on when he went looking for something to cut off and eat.....

[Cathryn Crawford]

Ewww...

[Capitalist Eric]

Sounds remarkably similar to a Stephen King story called "Survivor Type."

The character, as he was eating his toes, kept saying to himself, "they taste like ladyfingers. They taste like ladyfingers..."

Bizarre world in which we live, these days...... (((shaking head)))

Nobody looked to see what his girlfriend was munching! *LOL*

Yes! The Original Toe Sucker!

Dickie Morris was all KINDS of interested in this story.

[scholar]

or did he do this because he is effin' insane (which could explain why he was huffing butane in the first place).

Sounds logical to me.

Toe: the other white meat.

Toe. It's what's for dinner.

I hope the bread was lo-carb if he was on Atkins.
