Giving Potential Inlaws the Finger
Because nothing says 'I Love You' like a severed finger:
An unemployed ex-gangster in Japan in love with a 15-year-old girl chopped off his little finger and mailed it to her father twice in an unsuccessful bid to prove his commitment, police said. Hiroyuki Yoshikawa, 36, was arrested on Monday after the teenager's father told police the finger had been sent to him again, after marking it return to sender the first time, a police spokesman said. When he first sent the finger, Yoshikawa allegedly enclosed a note: "Please let us go out in exchange for this finger. I will send it again and again until you accept my request."I find it hard to understand why the father has a problem with their relationship. After all his daughter is only a few years underage and the suitor is only 21 years older than she is. He might be a gangster, but at least he is currently unemployed. Any guesses as to how many mailings the finger will survive?

Maybe three mailings for the severed finger, depending on what rule of thumb applies.

Maybe the father got a little worried when he asked for his daughter’s hand in marriage.
Maybe the father thinks there’s something not quite right with the guy ...... but he just can’t put his finger on it.

what i don’t understand is why he mailed it a second time? obviously one finger is not enough for the father, i think the gangster should increase the offer by adding in a toe.

That just might be seen as a blantant attempt to find a ‘toehold’ into the family.
