Sitting down and having a nice cuppa tea, we couldnt do it without it. It gets us out of all sorts of scrapes, and we dont realise it is there unless it gets banged or trapped and then the pain is agonising because it is so sensitive.
Big Toe: A wonderful piece of engineering, everything in the leg works off it, it gives balance, helps the knee tendons to work, couldnt run or skip without it, you would have a hard job walking as well. It is the thing that generates all the power. It is a very sensitive piece of equipment, and then again we never know it is there unless we drop something on it, and then does it hurt.
I think what we should do is get hold of all the world leaders and petition them to make an international day for the Thumb and Big Toe, we can then all stay in bed and twiddle them to our hearts content. What Joy !!!
