I have given some thought about toenails (I need a life).
Why do we even have those hard keratin things on our fingers and toes? Apparently a lot of other folks want to know as there are a lot of pages on the web devoted to nails, both finger and toe, but mostly fingernails.
Just do a web search to see what I mean.
Fingernails I get. Without them, how would we scratch an itch? How would we be able to pick up that eensy thread or sliver when no tweezers are handy?
But toenails, what good are they? If someone steps on my toe it still hurts. If I stub my toes, I can't see that the toenail helped me even a little bit. And even worse, have you ever had an ingrown toenail or a toenail with a hangnail?
After long and careful thought, I think I have figured it out.
When my toenails get hung on threads when putting on socks, that's how I know I need new socks!
Martha Told you I need a life!
