Dangerous avocados

I had a great meeting with a contact of mine the other day who was sporting quite a nasty injury to his finger.

Expecting him to say that he caught it in a car door, or was injured while hunting for food to feed his family, he surprised me when he said it was caused by an avocado.

Of course the avocado hadn't actually physically attacked him, but the use of the wrong knife had resulted in a nasty cut that left him with a practically severed finger.

Apparently his surgeon told him that there was a growing number of cases he was seeing that resulted directly from avocado misuse.

I'll never look at the fruit in the same way again.
