A conductor without a hand
2003 Reader Submission

This story doesn’t involve death, but the heroine of it was dumb enough to lose a hand.
So, I heard this story from my cousin’s girlfriend. She studied music at a university in Slupsk, northern Poland and knew a lecturer, an orchestra conductor precisely. This woman had no left wrist; she lost it in a kind of a car accident.
It was night, she and her daughter were driving automobiles, mother in her, daughter in her. Then the engine of the mother’s car broke down. Both mother and daughter had no tools, even if they had, they probably could not know what to repair. Nevertheless, they decided to give the mother’s car a tow. But the mother’s automobile had no hook to fasten the rope – so mother found a fantastic idea – after attaching the rope to the daughter’s car she will enter the car, wrap a rope around her left wrist and steer the car by the right hand. She did it! The daughter turned the engine on, and set off, towing a rope with her mother’s left wrist at the end.
From then on at the university of Slupsk teaches a lecturer teaches conducting; a lecturer without left wrist.
PS. I know this story is unbelievable, but it’s true
PS2. I hate Polish jokes /yes, even in Poland we know they are popular in America/ so don’t even try to make any allusions to Poles! Dumb people occur everywhere! Submitted on 02/26/02
