WATERVILLE, Wash. (AP) � Some people may lose sleep on the job or even lose the stapler off their desk. Dane Keane loses fingers.

The 52-year-old Washington rodeo coordinator was helping to secure a bull in a bucking chute Saturday evening when his finger got caught between a rope and a metal fence pole. His left index finger ended up being amputated at the second joint.

But it wasn't his first time losing a finger on the job. In 2000, Keane lost the end of his right ring finger to a bull.

Keane, also a Douglas County commissioner, says he loves the rodeo but says it's "a little on the bad luck side" for him

Yep, you read it right. I'm surprised somebody didn't notice it because there were guys down there that should know better. (NT) -- Hap, 16:24:58 08/26/08 Tue
Varmit - one of my friends is originally from Waterville. Her family is pretty prominent in the county and so I asked her if she knows Mr. Keane. Her response inside>>>>> -- Crystal, 12:20:20 08/27/08 Wed
