In Canada, more precisely in Yukon, there is a bar that has a tradition in the form of a “Sourtoe Cocktail Club”: a mummified, salted, big toe that you can throw into your drink for $5. One rule states that anyone who swallows the big, mummified toe must pay $500. At the end of August, it was a Saturday, Josh from New Orleans came to this bar, drank a toe drink, swallowed the mummified, salted big toe, put the $500 on the counter and disappeared.
[Terry] Lee, a local retiree who has worked as "toe captain" since June, said the latest toe was "mummified" with salt, and plunked into drinks for brave patrons about 30 to 40 times per night. More than 52,000 have joined the club, each receiving certificates and membership cards as relics of their courageous deed. “It's a dark brown color, completely wrinkled. It's a gross looking thing. " Lee recommended trying it with Yukon Jack whiskey.
There's a $ 500 fine for swallowing the toe, which Lee said is meant as a "deterrent." On Saturday, an unidentified man entered the bar and approached Lee's station with a shot of whiskey.
“This guy popped it in his mouth. . . takes $ 500 out of his pocket and slams it on the table and starts walking away. [...]Now that their toe has been swallowed, Lee and his fellow captains are on the hunt for a new one. Most in the past have been donated through someone's will, he said. One was also given to the bar after it was cut off by a lawn mower.

More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
