Man cuts off foot to get jobless benefits

The best part of this story is the comments. Jay Leno should fire his writers and just ask the general public for jokes. My favorite, "He can work at IHOP."

They'll deny his application for benefits and he won't have a leg to stand on.

But serial folks.

That's insane. I did a search and the link on the dailymail.uk website also inc
Uses a shot of the "oven" that he used.

It looks like he used the right blade for the job. It would be nice to have a nice smooth cut from using a fine toothed blade, but it's probably better to use a fast blade.

What do you guys think?

You don't even have to be clever. It's right there in the article:

"The kicker: According to the paper, being footless does not necessarily qualify Url for unemployment compensation."
