The opposing thumb: it's one point of difference between us and the apes -- and, for that matter, fish. To Bob Lindsey, it was a part of who he was. To a flesh-eating mackinaw trout in the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, it was a bit of something to snatch up and swallow. And yet somehow, against all odds, Bob and his thumb were reunited.
HHHHAAA!!! My friend actually knows this guy! I fact I have several friends who know this guy and according to them he really does have the thumb on his mantle. I've heard this whole story many times and it was just funny to see it on youtube.

Resplendent storytelling! If ever I lose a digit I pray such a tale will result.

Resplendent storytelling! If ever I lose a digit I pray such a tale will result. Quite entertaining! (I can now add "Saponification" to my vocabulary.)

This guy really knows how to tell a story--He comes across as serious and funny at the same time.
