The only tan I have is YD burn on my face from my monitor!

In many countries where toilet paper is not used the left hand was used for the cleaning. The finger nail was used to 'scoop' the remains! I supposed it could then be used to pick you nose and then a coke spoon. 3 in one accesory

At least that is my theory. The next SWMBO has lessons with those kids I'll get her to ask them. I hope it's not the coke spoon theory, better be the status ones. Sad git, get them a nail clipper.

Yuk... I hope they occasionally wash their hands then!


Don't some people who play the guitar have a long nail to use instead of a plectrum?

This is why having one's hand cut off is so bad in arab counties, you have to eat and wipe with the same hand.

Usually on the thumb or all fingers.

Hmmm, none of the diving girls I know can have 'staus symbols'. The diving status sybmols seem to be no nails, straw-like hair and a head and hand tan.

Oh, thanks! I thought I looked like a cross between Ursula Undressed and a mermaid, but obviously I'm more Sea Devil meets Worzel Gummidge.

You've lost the statuts symbol after ascending and removing your mask and have all your snot dangling off your nose. Nope, no status in diving in my opinion

I heard that certain "professional" ladies use their little finger to help them fettle clients quicker, time and motion, if you will. At least so a bloke in the pub told me
