Yukon hotel robbed of mummified human toe it used to make cocktails [View all]

The RCMP are on the lookout for a man who stole a mummified human toe from a hotel bar in the Yukon, in a story that doesn’t require trying to be clever because a guy stole a mummified human toe.

The Sourdough Saloon at Dawson City’s Downtown Hotel is famous for its Sourtoe Cocktail, which involves downing a shot of whiskey with the preserved toe dropped in it until it touches the lips of the drinker.

“We are furious,” said Terry Lee, who holds the title of Downtown Hotel Toe Captain and oversees the cocktail service, in a statement. “This guy asked to do the Toe after the 9 to 11 p.m. toe time hours and one of the new staff served it to him to be nice – and this is how he pays her back. What a low life.”

The Saloon said the man who stole the toe is from Quebec, had a French accent and bragged that he might steal it before he took his drink.
