Fingernails

What do you think the purpose of finger and toe nails are? I can see fingernails would be used for scratching, etc. but what about those toenails?

Feet...yuck! Toes...yuck!

My daughters toenails fall off from her dancing so they surely don't serve much of a purpose.

I thought everyone knew -- you're supposed to chew on them for a couple of dozen years and then your appendix fills up because you can't digest them. So you get your appendix out and then you can stop chewing your nails and have long ones. :wink:
