Once, that exact same finger on my left hand was articulated more severely (near 90 degrees by dislocation) at the second joint from the tip. The three of us had been pulling on a glass gallon jug all evening at the Pinedale Mountain Man Rendezvous while making first ascents of every tall sign in town. Two fifths of Jose Cuervo 1800, three fifths of Myers Dark Rum, and two gallons of orange juice went in and out of that glass gallon jug in the course of the evening.

 

At a point near the end of the consumption of above liquids, Jack jumped on my back in the middle of the highway. When we came up from the asphalt, that finger had the atypical turn in it; Jack was horrified. Being in a state of proper anesthesia, and to reassure Jack this affliction was petty, I promptly pulled and straightened the finger into alignment. We celebrated the success of the operation with gusto.

 

That finger joint has always, and remains, larger than the rest.
