Toe Thumb

Sweet baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

I sincerely thought my eyes were deceiving me when I saw this photo with the accompanying headline; "Carpenter Replaces Severed Thumb with Big Toe."

Toe Thumb!

Obviously, having an opposable thumb is a good thing -- about 40 percent of hand function depends upon it -- and as a carpenter he clearly works with his hands. I'm all for freaky Dr. Frankenstein-type surgery, but I would suggest however, after you've cut off your own damn thumb that maybe it's time to rethink your career path.

I think an important question to ask is 'after a hard day at work, are is his hand going to smell like feet?'

Or what if he gets nervous on a date and his hands get sweaty.. are they going to reek too?

...and he's made it that much easier to put his foot in his mouth...

Where "thumbs up" is a euphemism for positivity, "toes-up" means something else entirely.
