What is your favorite finger?

[kayakjohnny]

I like the index.

It seems to be a leader. It points the way. It is 'number one' in so many ways. It wags in your face if it thinks you're wrong. It does that circle near the ear if it thinks you're crazy. It can form the barrel of an imaginary gun. It works well with it's neighbor, the thumb. Especially in a pinch.

The middle finger is longer, but only gets credit for the bird and maybe that extra reach in certain sexy situations.

The ring finger... well, it's name alone means it may be adorned with a certain flashiness and symbolism. But may be condemned to a life with a strip of metal around it's neck.

The pinky is mainly good for scratching an itch deep in your ear, where the others can't go. And also to help the thumb make that symbol that people like surfers and devil worshipers and one of the Bush daughters use. And for extending when drinking tea in the company of really rich people.

The thumb is probably my next favorite. Even though it's not really welcome as a true finger. It let's us know when things are good (or bad), and can even get us a ride around the world. And it helps us hang on to our things. Keeps us connected to the planet.

But to me, the index finger is the best. It pushes all the buttons. It checks the wind when you wet it. It changes radio stations when we drive. It lets you know that it's 'you' that I'm talking to. It gives great directions. It makes a cool popping sound with your mouth.

It can launch a rocket into space.



Fingers.

They kind of rule the world.
