If
someone ever
says they want to
hurt me, I'll just say, "Do anything you want!
Just don't break my thumbs!" Being
stupid, they will try that first. They'll take my
thumb, and
bend it until it is
straight, then give it a
sharp blow backwards. I'll
scream and
writhe in
agony, and they'll leave, thinking they got me good.
But my thumbs bend backwards anyway, so it really doesn't
hurt. Fools!
You see - well, ok, so you're reading. Anywho - my thumbs, both of them, can be
bent backwards at their joint greater than
180 degrees (past 270, in fact). I still have
muscle control over the complete range of movement, too, so I can provide some resistance for the
thumb breakers right before the 'snap'.
Some people are
weirded out by this, so I usually put them at ease by making the
mcdonald's M by putting my
palms facing toward them, and pressing my thumbs together. (I hope mcdonalds won't sue,
I've been doing that trick for years.)
Oh, and those of you intent on breaking my thumbs -
pretend you didn't read this, ok?
