Ernest Vannier, Bar Patron, Accused Of Biting Off Bartender's Finger

This bartender may start making patrons pinky-promise not to bite him after his harrowing ordeal.

The Times Union reports that a man was kicked out of a Glens Falls, N.Y., bar after he was caught having sex in a designated smoking room.

While he was being escorted out, police say Ernest Vannier bit the pinky finger of a male bartender, almost chomping the finger clean-off.

"He took the whole end of it off and broke the bone," Police Sgt. Keith Knoop told the Post Star.

Thankfully, doctors were able to re-attach the finger, Knoop told the paper.

This latest finger-biting-battle comes just weeks after the Washington Post reported on a St. Patrick's Day brawl that ended with one man's finger being gnawed off.

As if smokers aren't being discriminated enough, now we have to put up with meat eaters violating our designated spaces too.

Am wondering if the patron was so drunk he thought the bartender was a proctologist. Not wanting the exam, he bites off the finger.

Maybe two double cheeseburgers and a $40 tip for the bouncer would have worked?

Good grief. What an absolute pig. I hope the Bartender gets justice. Drunken people do the stupidest things.
