    Based ENTIRELY on the first statement…

    I once had an accident at work that resulted in having my thumb nail ripped off completely. In addition to a few other injuries which healed after a few months, it took nearly 6 months to regrow my nail. During which time I learned having a finger nail helps give your finger “meat” something to press against, instead of literally trying to pick something up essentially with your bone.

    The secondary lesson here is, sometimes it’s better to not try and force in an analogy to be cute. People start arguing about the analogy and miss the original point.
