Toes

I don't understand, in the midsts of biology and anatomy, what exact purpose toes fulfill. They're much like the appendix. See, for humans, we're not sweet. We can't use our feet to swing from tree to tree like monkeys can.

I mean, have you seen those? They're awesome!

But for humans, not so much. Of all the extremeties we've got, the most useful would be fingers. I mean, toes don't even succeed in keeping balance. You always see those TV comedy shows where, when somebody gets their big toe chopped off, they can no longer ever stand up without falling on their face.

Admittedly, that's really funny. But inaccurate.

I know a person who knew a person who knew a guy without toes. And he lived a full life.

Am I lying? Perhaps.

But you will never know that.

Actually, toes help you keep your balance. If you lose even one toe, it will become very difficult to walk. :D
