A colleague of mine lost a finger a few months earlier while climbing a fence, jumping down and forgetting about his wedding ring. Anyway, we were in a conference call with another office and he jokingly wanted to check the video feed. He asked them: "how many fingers do I hold up?" In that moment I came up with "I'll give you a hint! It's not 10!". It was funny because everyone had forgotten about his finger and only realized after a few secs.
