Broke my left pinky finger playin Donkey Basketball for charity. I had the ball, got on my donkey, was going pretty good until the trainer slapped his hogbat on the floor in front of "Popeye". Well, Popeye stopped and I didn't. Like was mentioned above, you will be surprised how much you use your digits. Try to get out of the driver's seat of a car with a broken pinky finger. I still can't use it for typing because I learned it hurt real bad for a long time.
