Area Man Shows Resilience In Using Last Remaining Sauce-Free Finger To Scroll Through Facebook Feed

PADUCAH, KY -- Area man Peter Gifford, currently devouring a Jim's BBQ pulled pork sandwich smothered in barbecue sauce while scrolling through Facebook on his phone, reportedly showed admirable resilience after four of his five fingers became covered in barbecue sauce.

One by one, starting from his thumbs, each of his fingers became coated in sauce, each one essentially becoming incapacitated and unable to perform the functions required to scroll down a social media feed without covering the phone in sauce. However, Gifford was determined to see his Facebook feed scrolling through to the end. 

"One finger left," said Gifford, who looked at his left pinkie with a determined look, before returning to his phone scrolling. 

Gifford then attempted to tap a link with his pinkie, missing several times. "I would have just given up right then and wiped my hands," reported an onlooker at the next table. "But this guy, he never gave up. If only we all had that kind of tenacity, that kind of drive to succeed." Gifford then reportedly succeeded at tapping the link.

Also made difficult was Gifford's method of eating, which had to be adapted to avoid getting sauce on his pinkie. He reportedly held his sandwich with his left pinkie held away from the sandwich. "This guy was a lesson in adapting to what life throws at you," said Katie Miller, shift supervisor working behind the counter at Jim's BBQ. "It was very inspiring for everyone."

At press time, Gifford had accidentally gotten sauce all over his phone when he tried to do a pinch-zoom. He reportedly put his head down in shame and sat in silence for several minutes, like one who had failed his loved ones and lost their trust forever.
