I'm sure you can go buy some liquid nitrogen and bathe your hand in it. (read do not try this, less you be without a hand)
and btw... i know what a wart looks like, so i could have done with out that pic...
Give him time, and if he doesn't get himself banned, he'll learn eventually.
I ussed to get planters warts on my feat (hurt like a MOFO)
had em burned (acid) and scraped off in multiple sesions by a doc.
god those things were freaky.
I still get em regularly, but not as bad as I ussed to <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Freezing is always good. You could do it yourself with a can of compressed air (spray it upside-down) - a six second spay gave me a pretty decent burn on my hand - puffed up and everything (hurt for about a week).
I had one of those lightning ball things as a kid(small tesla generator and a conductive coated glass bulb). I once figured out that if you put a big metal object on those, put a small thin wire on it, it would build up enough charge on the outside layer that it would actually cause a spark between any somewhat decent conductor you put within a few mm from the tip of the cord, and it will burn very shallow. I accidentally burned myself with it a couple of times, I barely noticed until I noted the smell(you know what hair smells like when it burns?).
When I got warts a bunch of years later I tried burning them with a piece of khantal wire and a small DC 12V transformer but that really hurt, really bad and didn't seem to do much. Tried it a few times with the 'lightning ball' thingamajig and it worked, hurt like **** though when you accidentally burned too deep, and it certainly stank up the place.
Do as he says…only good advice in this topic.
I know they can be annoying and embarassing sometimes so I wouldn't recommend just waiting for them to go but I can't really vouch for the other treatments as nothing really worked for me.

I had warts on my hand for quite a while, until I got them frozen at the doctor's. It was completely painless and they cleared up within a week and never came back. Other methods can work somewhat, but that's because your psychology has a significant effect on them. My dad's a doctor and one of his friends treats them in a funny way: He shines an ultraviolet light over the warts and tells the patient to come back later. The patient thinks it's an effective treatment (when it does nothing medically) and comes back with a fraction of the warts. He then treats the rest conventionally.
