He wears a 9 1/2 shoe.

But X-L gloves.

Hee. Hee.

I can't wait until the hubs comes home from Russia and I get my hands on his thumb.

Here's my contribution:

The average American consumes 4 lbs. of bug parts per year.

Imagine how many spider legs it would take to reach 4 lbs.! Yuck!

"The average man's penis is three times the length of his thumb"

You do realize I will test this theory when Mike gets home. I'll even document my findings if need be.

You are just a FOUNTAIN of BS.

BTW, that why I ALWAYS wear gloves.

Two sizes too big.

A woman's heart beats faster than a man's....because they're twice as busy.

Mary@Holy Mackerel said...

Man. I'm still looking at my own thumbs, but I don't know why, since I'm a woman. I have a great imagination, I guess.

Jill said...

Very cool facts. I'll have to tell my husband the penis one and see how long he stares at his thumb.

Rhonda said...

Oh, that ending ROCKED.


And I'm not talking about Jay's thumb either. lol

Justine said...

See, now you just made me want to whip out the measuring tape while Jimmy's sleeping! I read the whole post, but PENIS just kept leaping off the screen at me.

Justine :o )

Dennis and Leslie said...

Ha! Jay's still looking for his "thumb"....he lost it in that "messy side-bun" post...

Vodka Mom said...

okay, I am still thinking about the penis thing. sorry, that's just how I roll.

Amy Amy Bo Bamey said...

So what happens if my Hubby happens to be Thumbless?

Now I can say, "These Thunder Thighs of mine are stronger than concrete" I knew there was a reason I wanted to keep them around!

TexasRed said...

These are great -- definitely going to check out the thumb measurement.

tamilyn said...

LOL, I just looked at my hubby laying on the couch and laughed!

I bet it impresses your patients when you toss out these little tidbits of knowledge :)

tamilyn said...

Now, wait-is it three times the length while 'at rest' or 'at attention'?

Beth said...

Now I am totally going to be checking out the thumbs on different guys.

nikkicrumpet said...

OH you just know all the single gals are gonna start "thumb measuring" before they accept a date! I read this out loud to hubby....somehow he didn't think it was as funny as I did!

binks said...

Ummmm, the thumb thing is not ALWAYS true.
However, I cannot tell you how I know, and it has NOTHING to do with Salty.
