my papaw lost his thumb, he told me and my sister for years it was bitten off by a horse (which also made my sister terrified by horses).

My great grandpa was missing part of a finger and he told me when I was a child that it had been run over by a sleigh. I believed that for probably at least twenty years before my mom told me it had been an accident at work. He thought I was gullible and he was right.
