A security guard came up with a bizarre remedy to remove a wart - he shot off his finger with a shotgun.

Sean Murphy, 38, from Doncaster, had seen his GP repeatedly about the problem and also tried a variety of traditional ointments and creams.

But when the persistent wart refused to disappear, he opted for the firepower of a 12-bore Beretta he claimed he had found under a hedge a few months earlier.

His technique successfully removed the wart - along with most of the middle finger of his left hand.

1. Not the way I would have done it

but he did get rid of the wart...works faster than Compound-W

2. Now why did I know that drinking played a part in this?

He said he drank several pints of beer to build up his courage before carrying
out the operation outside the caravan where he was living at the time.

3. But the sad part is that he came up with the idea stone sober.

The beer was just to get the courage to actually pull it off. What an intellectual!

4. Obscene gestures..

will now be a little more difficult - well, the two handed ones, anyway.
