Thumbs, I like being able to walk without falling over.

Take my toes. Opposable thumbs form the basis of most tasks in everyday life. For example, tape your thumbs to your hand (you can have a friend help with the second hand), and go about your day. After about 5 minutes you will realize how difficult it would be without thumbs. Even putting on your pants and buttoning your shirt will take you an exasperatingly long time without thumbs. As for holding a pencil or writing a letter, forget it.
As for losing your toes, your ability to run would be severely diminished, and your balance will be a little off, but your day-to-day life won't be nearly as restricted.
therefore, take my toes....please.

I've thought about it and I think that losing all my toes would take some real getting used to, balance, shoe size, etc. but I think my thumbs are more useful overall. So I'd rather lose all my toes.

Hi, this is a tough one - initially I thought that I'd lose my thumbs but realised it would be difficult to hold things so I decided on my toes then realised I might fall over because they help us to maintain our balance - conclusion is that I'd like to keep my thumbs and toes. Sorry if this answer isn't much help but at least its honest.

I say old man, have you someone tied to a chair?This is a game we play with burglars.You give them the choice.Cad also plays a more serious game with child molesters,tie them to a chair and give them the choice of an arm or a leg,for best results use a chain saw .............. Return after one week,and they are free to go.Firm but fair.... "O" the toes are best to loose as you,can always buy smaller shoes.Thumbs you cannot do without,as your hands become useless....... I say

Toes.....without the use of your thumbs, even the most menial tasks would be difficult.....try drinking a pint of beer without using your thumbs to hold it? I rest my case.......xxx

they chopped five of my toes off (along with a leg) 26 years ago.. and ive survived reasonably well... ok, so i cant drive a manual car... and do it doggie doggie, but thats about it...
no fingers... forget it.. manual dexterity...
however, whilst at college there were guys who had no arms... wow! they were capbale of looking after themselves, and their painting skills... incredible... but these guys lives in sheltered accomodation... im still out and about...
