Unsolicited Finger On Desk

Portuguese businessman to judge, "Vai se foder!"

Approves

The portugese are still around? huh.

Sir Charles: The portugese are still around? huh.

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.

it would have to be a male judge for it to be literal

but feel free to nazi on

gonepostal

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

"Oh my god, his finger just came.. straight off."
"And this is why you never refuse an offer to settle."

MBooda: Approves

Came for the Shylock reference. Leaving satisfied.

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?

Marry me.

But seriously, welcome to my Favorites list.

Now we need to stamp out quotes for emphasis! FOR THE FATHERLAND!

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.

NADAFINGER!

He then cut the finger into three pieces?

The Yakuza are unimpressed...

What crawled up your ass and died today? Seriously? Chill the fark out already.

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?

/something is rotten in the state of Portugal

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

What a knife may look like.

subby, yru an aidot!

In our court the judge would hang this guy.

Do you think he tried paying in Doritos?

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.

/something is rotten in the state of Portugal

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.

harbingerofdoom: at least he didnt loose his head over it

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

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

/something is rotten in the state of Portugal

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.
