Opposable Thumbs

I must admit that I am quite pleased to have opposable thumbs.  As we all know, they come in quite handy (heh) and are a key evolutionary reason for our success.

So I have to wonder why anyone would intentionally thwart that very feature of the human anatomy.  I'm speaking, of course, of people with ridiculously long fingernails.

I was at the drug store recently, and when I went to check out, I got a cashier with nails over 2" long.  She, needless to say, was able to do all that checkout stuff, but it was literally painful to think about how she handled certain fundamentals of life - you know, intimate personal things...powder room stuff.  Yecch.

I guess a career in watch repair isn't in her future.
