My friend and I were bored, watching HSB but not really watching it.

Franz's character had been captured by the Mob and they wanted him to "talk," but he wouldn't.

I lazily commented after 3 minutes of demand-and-refusal, "What are they gonna do to him? Chop off his hand?"

Three seconds later, on the screen, someone held Franz's hand on a table, and chopped off his pinky.

Being a little drunk (OK, a lot drunk), I was like "Whooooooooa!"
