[AT] From AP Man cuts off his arm to free it from a antique corn picker.

[Mike Sloane]

My boss at the New Holland dealership where I worked was missing the 
thumb on his left hand - he tried to clear a borrowed corn picker when 
it jammed as he was finishing up for the day, and he was in too much of 
a hurry to shut the machine down. Fortunately, a lady walking her dog 
heard his screams and called for help.
