An Islamic government would chop the hands off these thieves - but it’s too late for that.

If they get together they can give themselves a round of applause.

They thought they had the insurance company in the palm of their hand, but now they’re stumped.

The second man chopped off his arm above the elbow. . . .

He's a very humerus fellow.

Sharia law at work. Punished before doing the crime.

This type of fraud isn't all that new.

I have older relatives that grew up in a coal mining area. It wasn't all that unusual for somebody to lose a finger, one way or another, accidentally-on-purpose, for cash payout compensation.

I saw a show years ago about a rash of such incidents in a sleepy Florida town. Probably in the 1960s. Apparently, it was quite the topic of conversation amongst insurance agents across the nation. Very disparate and unrelated incidents, except for monkey see-monkey do aspect. And the $$$, of course.

They are among a wave of penniless desperados. . . .

DESPERADO (Why Don't You Keep All Your Fingers?)
Tune: "Desperado"

Desperado
Why don't you keep all your fingers?
See your hand, how it lingers
For so long now
Oh, you're a plotter
And I know that you got your reasons
This saw that is teasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you try to fool insurers, boy
They'll see why you're disabled
You know how paople say you've never been that bright
Now it seems to me your left hand
Has been laid upon your table
'Cause you always want the stuff that ain't your right

Desperado
Oh, you ain't gettin' no money
They won't find it funny
They'll charge you with fraud
And brilliant?--oh, brilliant--
Well, that's just how it's appearin'
But you'll only hear the sound
Of one hand applaud

Don't you use both hands when it's dinner time?
The knife and fork make a pair so fine
It's hard to eat your supper with just one
You're losin' half your batting gloves
Ain't it funny you can't fill 'em once you're done

Desperado
Why don't you take off your goggles?
The mind fairly boggles
This ain't no game
Your brain is buzzin'
But there's a buzzsaw before you
You bet your agent will ignore you--
Bet he will ignore you--
You bet your agent will ignore you
Your plan is so lame
