A BIG THUMBS UP
We take things for granted all the time and don’t realize it. Think about your thumbs for a second. Okay, that’s enough. They’re just thumbs for crying out loud. We never think about our thumbs. Until we hurt one. Then, you realize how important they are and how much you use them. Have you ever tried flossing without your thumbs? And you can kiss thumb wrestling good-bye. …Unless you have a split lip then you’re not kissing anything good-bye. Your hitch hiking days are over. That may not be so bad for you but how am I gonna get to work?
When your thumb gets better what do you do? You start taking them for granted again. You go back to your old ways, the gambling, the drinking, the ice fishing. My point is, that without opposable thumbs, we’d have …paws. I have nothing against paws. I think they’re cute. Of course, if we all had paws, the world would be a much simpler place. We wouldn’t have been able to invent anything, so we’d all be sitting around scratching the fleas behind our ears. Our thumbs are the reason that dogs are our pets and not the other way around. Dogs can’t do half of the things we can do because they never evolved thumbs like us. Of course, somehow they can still play poker. I’ve never played poker with a dog but I’ve seen the pictures. I guess if they can bark out Christmas carols, they can do almost anything. Just remember that if you ever do play poker with dogs, make sure that you don’t play with dog money. Most banks won’t take it.
