I cut the tip of my finger off. The reason for this was that the machine
I was using was broken, and I was forced to use my hand instead of the tool
that pushed the vegetables down into the food processor. The only training I
ever had on this machine was how to turn the machine itself on and how to make
the salads look pretty.
