I may just be an old sack of potatoes, but I honestly feel like the fact that nails, whether they are on a dog, a human, or a 2x4, are one of the greatest plagues we face as a species.
We can trim them all we want, but to act like we didn't evolve to manually crack avocados is pure shittery.
For instance, many ancient princes were found buried with their nails FULLY GROWN! There must be something about old timey aristocrats that made them like guacamole.
Some scholars suggest this has to do with arsenic poisoning, but I blame styrofoam. When you think about it, everything was cool before that white crusty **** took over our shipping and packaging industry. And I'm not new to it, I was at a packing and shipping conference in Chicago a few years ago. 50k people in town just to discuss shipping, and not a single one of them could sail a boat.
Now I may tack and jibe on a keel from time to time, but you will never...I say NEVER, catch me with a roll of double sided tape. Not unless I'm wrapping dead squirrels, because there's no other way to do that.
