This bartender may start making patrons pinky-promise not to bite him after his harrowing ordeal.

The Times Union reports that a man was kicked out of a Glens Falls, N.Y., bar after he was caught having sex in a designated smoking room.

While he was being escorted out, police say Ernest Vannier bit the pinky finger of a male bartender, almost chomping the finger clean-off.

"He took the whole end of it off and broke the bone," Police Sgt. Keith Knoop told the Post Star.

Thankfully, doctors were able to re-attach the finger, Knoop told the paper.

This latest finger-biting-battle comes just weeks after the Washington Post reported on a St. Patrick's Day brawl that ended with one man's finger being gnawed off.

The picture is of a Pointer finger not a Pinky finger.

No it isn't this is his left hand.

It is his right hand, not left hand. If it was his left hand then MBelue would be right by saying it is his pointer finger not his pinky finger.

What is the deal with New Yorkers biting people? There are several YT videos of attacks that end in biting. Wow, need muzzles on people in NY, or something?

I may be an old fart but I'm a sneaky old fart.

Gives a new meaning to getting your pinky off.
