Title: Gainesville woman loses 3 fingers trying to wake boyfriend

A 36-year-old woman lost three fingers early Sunday when she tried to wake up her boyfriend with fireworks.

The woman and her boyfriend told the Gainesville Police Department that they had been drinking before the incident at the Georgetown apartments. The woman said she was holding a fireworks novelty item in her hand when she lit the fuse. She had been planning to toss the device out the front door, thinking it would make enough noise to wake her boyfriend.

Instead, the device exploded in her hand, tearing off her thumb, middle and ring fingers. The blast was so powerful that police said they found one bone remnant embedded in the ceiling. ...

(That one is too easy.)

She thought to light up his life by fuzing their explosions together. That makes for a very vibrant couple, methinks.

If she thought she was going to hook him into a long term relationship, she left evidence of that in the ceiling.

Now that she's incomplete, he could tell her to thumb a ride elsewhere. It would be cruel, but after rudely being awoken like that, he's got no choice but to finger her as an accident waiting to happen.
