Koohii stories:

1) [noname] 12-1-2008(241): 挟まる 【はさまる】 (v5r,vi) to get between; to be caught in; (P) Story: You know how in tokyo there are those really packed trains where train staff in gloves shove people in? Well imagine being sandwiched in so tight, that when the doors close, only your FINGERS are sticking out. The train staff have no choice… they must cut them off with SCISSORS =( snip snip..

2) [chamcham] 3-3-2010(134): Fingers sandwiched between a pair of scissors. Don't move or else!

3) [TheSlakey] 21-12-2008(26): In Tokyo trains, they've got a problem with chikan, or old men who "accidently" molest women while being sandwiched against them on crowded trains. So now, Japan has hired Edward scissorhands to cut off the fingers of the offenders. Being sandwiched together is no excuse for chikan!

4) [notgoing2argue] 30-7-2007(17): (Being left-handed and always using right-handed scissors turned upside down) My fingers get caught/sandwiched in scissors' finger holes.
