There are 4 basic rules to firearms safety. Shooting your own finger off requires you to pretty much break all 4 at once. What a dumbass.

I guess he is going to need to keep Ozzie around all the time now, just in case he needs to give someone the finger.

Jose Canseco laughs at your basic rules to firearm safety.  I wonder if this will affect his ability to pitch effectively or continue his MMA career.

Poor guy. That middle finger saw a lot in his day--the angry faces of a bunch of Yankee fans, whipping through the zone and crushing home runs, inside of Madonna herself. #RIP

Mike Greenwell has released a statement, claiming he deserves Canseco's finger due being runner up for the 1988 MVP.

Next time Jose wants to give someone the finger, he may actually give them the finger.

I don't understand the qualifier in the thread title - did Jose ever 'accidentally' shoot himself with something other than a gun?

'Shooting' because like Ryan Braun, Canseco bought and used steroids to bulk up (though I guess that wasn't accidental).

Jose Can, you see, buys the Braun's burly might.

There's a "digital" joke in here somewhere but I just can't seem to put Jose's finger on it.
Good thing Jose wasn't watching porn when he had his accident, else it might've been worse than a finger.

To celebrate this event, Dan Ryckert's books "Air Force Gator 2", which has a foreword by Canseco, and "Former Baseball Player Sucks At Crowdfunding" will be on sale through Halloween.
 
If you're wondering who Dan Ryckert is, he's a member of Giant Bomb and plays videogames for a living. If you're wondering why a guy like that would have a feud with Jose Canseco, my only answer would be the internet is a magical place.

Maybe he'll buy Ozzie's finger and undergo transplant surgery.

Jose was cleaning 4 guns at the same time?  Lucky he learned the lesson.  Next time only do 2 at the same time, 3 tops.

Does he think that the fact that he wasn't aware anyone else was around or that he almost shot another person somehow makes this better for him? Why is this a story he is upset at 'the media' for not telling?

I thought he was upset because he doesn't want to be portrayed as someone who would actually cry over losing a finger or two.

I won't post all of the tweets again, but if you go to Canseco's twitter feed he's talking about how his finger fell off a poker tournament last night...

Canseco is an amateur compared to the Iron Sheik

In other news...He wasn't aware until sometime AFTER the shot that his "finance " (see, he don't need Ozzie's stinkin' money ) was in the room with him??  If that was MY finance, I'd be aware if she was within three blocks.

Now that would bring down the Internet. 
 
There's a scene in Mulholland Dr. where a hitman inadvertently fires a bullet through an apartment wall hitting a huge woman in the ass....she begins screaming "something bit me real bad"...I found it to be hilarious.
 
edit - unable to find the scene on youtube or elsewhere
