How did he get the knife into the courtroom?

That will teach the judge a lesson I'm sure.

Ummm, yeah. We couldn't run an ad that said no Portuguese, but ummm...no Portuguese.

maybe he meant pinga (portugese for penis)

Wow, that' actually one of the few instances in which the word "literally" was used appropriately.

Actually, he didn't GIVE the finger to the judge, but close enough for me.

That would be an entirely different action. Altogether.

He wanted to get his point across and hoped his cutting commentary would help.

I think you meant caralho or piexa. Trust me I know, I love Portuguese dried cock cod.

Shoulda cut off one of the other ones...say, the ring finger.

Ring finger is the weakest one of the bunch and its location, while not negligible, isn't as vital to the grip as the others.

He's really gonna miss that index finger is all I'm saying...


/ not a very bright thing to do, in any case

FTA: 'I freaked out when the judge refused my offer to pay the debt and ordered the sale of part of my land. I told her I had a 1.2million euro bank guarantee which would have allowed me to pay the debt,' Silva said.

So um, why didn't you just pay it then?

FTFA: 'I didn't feel anything, I could even have cut off all my fingers.

That sounds pretty hard to do without fingers. Unless he was going to use his mouth.

wait a second...
a judge refused his offer to settle a 170,000 euro debt and said part of his farm must be sold.

'...I told her I had a 1.2million euro bank guarantee which would have allowed me to pay the debt,' Silva said.


does this smell like the judge is in league with a developer who wants the land to anyone else?

so it's ok for someone to self-proclaim as a grammar nazi, but not ok for someone who had previously pointed out the flaw in the nazi's logic to comment on it? gotcha

No... it sounds like the guy had a deal with a buyer, but the farmer (seller) ended up scrapping the deal. Then, he decided not to return the down payment. The buyer probably used some legal wrangling, and made the judge enforce the previous contract.

The guy that cut his own finger off was a thief. It sounds like his thievery backfired.

Yeah, here we go:

Silva, who owns a 20 hectare (50 acre) farm in the central town of Figueira da Foz, was being sued by a company for holding onto a cash deposit on a land deal which had fallen through, the local newspaper said.


He basically tried to steal 170,000 euros. He would have been fine if he had just returned the money which was not rightfully his.

Well, he does seem to have a few "loose" screws.

No, it sounds like he only wanted to return part of the money and the judge refused his offer. He was trying to "settle" the debt, not "pay" it. In the context of debt, a settlement involves a portion of the debt being paid on the condition of the remainder being forgiven.

It wouldn't have gone to court in the first place if he hadn't initially tried to keep someone else's deposit.
