I'm pretty sure he can be an excellent manager/bookkeeper!
Or a Captain of the Guard... unless he bites some poor sod's throat out for breaking a production order...

Ah, so doing paperwork doesn't just require no paper or writing materials, it doesn't require arms either.

Yeah, It only takes a brain that works. 

Your dwarves have brains? Must be a mod, after all the channeling incidents and unsafe construction removal procedures I'm pretty sure that my dwarves didn't come with those.

The great gulf between memorization of long lists and problem-solving/planning?

Aaahhh, a handless veteran, but I think my crossbowdwarf Olon from yesterday's fort was more badass: 

He was a legendary biter and kicker by the end, but the Tigerman Swordsmaster who maimed him got away.

His death came not from bloodloss, but from madness
Olon McNohands cancels Start Fist Fight:  Too Injured x36

Just can't get no satisfaction.

Gimped vampire sheriff?

Assign him a burrow in Clowntopia and give him a warrior's death.

He can't walk.  I think he's just going to end up dying there of thirst trying to grab his equipment with his missing arms.

I am just giggling my head off at this mental image.

I think Dwarf Fortress may have given me a new sick sense of humour.

I assigned a one-armed, one-legged veteran  (lost them to a cave crawler) to Captain of the Guard once. He took to his role with vigor, and proceeded to seek justice on all who had committed a crime before he was assigned.

Did I mention I had just begun recovering from my first Tantrum Spiral?

He hobbled about and beat 8 dwarves to death before one went berserk on him and ripped his last arm off.

Just an update, I tried moving a goblin cage to the caravan for trade, haha.  The goblin got out and axe murdered the armless dwarf.  I wasn't sure whether to kill the goblin or give him an award, but I ended up killing him.

by the way, the screw pump concept was a pain in the ass, especially since I had to do it up 2 z levels and automate it via a 2 windmills linked together, all things I haven't done before.  But the result was a nice waterfall going through my main work area and my dining room.  Almost flooded it on accident though, luckily I tied a lever to the main gear assembly.
