Newport, VA – Turning the page of his favorite book, The Phantom Tollbooth, local shopkeeper Eric Rogers reportedly suffered a papercut on his right index finger. When he informed his wife of the wound, she glanced at him and told him to “suck it up.” Stung by both the papercut and her response, Rogers walked into the bathroom to disinfect the wound and to place a bandaid on it. He returned to the living room and picked up the book to begin where he left off. He was not hospitalized.
