SPARE A THUMB, MISTER?
External link:
Cheesbikini.com's Sean S. writes in to say (among other things: "you say 'I won't spare my thumbs,' etc. etc. I think you mean the opposite: that you won't -sacrifice- your thumbs, etc." He's referring to my last answer in my immediately previous blog entry. He is right, of course, that I would spare my thumbs the horrible fate of being cut off. I meant I wouldn't spare my thumbs and some other fingers in the same way that I might be unwilling to spare a quarter, even though I'd be sparing that quarter the fate of being in a smelly panhandler's urine-soaked pocket. That is, I wouldn't give those fingers away.
I deeply regret any horrifying, mutilating misunderstandings my earlier statement may have caused.
This is The Official Record.
