Mittens with no thumbs

So I'm coming back from lunch when I see this beautiful girl, long just-out-of-the-salon blonde hair, immaculately dressed, expensive handbag, follow-me-fuck-me shoes etc etc but on her hands she had, I kid you not, fluffy blue mittens - with no thumbs! Why? At first I thought she may have some sort of affliction but one was not patently obvious. Why would anyone produce such items never mind actually wear them? I am k confuddled. Help

One was not 'patently obvious' because it was hidden inside the mittens.

Anyway, I hope this thread turns into being about photoshopped kittens soon.

Nose picking? I have seen no-thumbs mittens which have a little bag on the backside which you can slide over yer nude top half of your fingers... Japanese mittens obv. (And my English is obv on a monday morning even worse than usual... Uh never mind.)

they're not mittens, yo, you're supposed to put potatoes in them to keep them warm on the way home. when you by loose ones, like.

g-kit is on to something, but I think you'll find they're hats for dogs.

potatoes are hats for dogs? i thought you ate them?

I suggest that you just let this mystery go. Forget about it. Otherwise, you will be led on a disturbing trail of intrigue, violence, and lies, and one day you will awaken in a prone position in darkness, light a match, and realize that you are in a buried coffin, to the horror of the audience watching.

or just believe me when I say, writing with mittens on is difficult. Maybe she was doing something where she needed to write stuff down but also wanted to keep her hands warm?

Or maybe her mate wanted woollen thimbles and she was happy to oblige?

how do you fit an audience in a coffin with you?

My immediate thought was the punchline to the baby joke: use a blender. It was a wrong, bad thought but I thought I'd share it with you anyway.

too right. it would seep out.

Maybe she had no thumbs and, like Margot Tenenbaum, had cut the matching digit off of her handwear.

Nope, she had thumbs, they were stickin' out!

I love the way this thread keeps hovering next to the "chopped his hand off with the meat cleaver" thread in the new answers. Like, was he wearing mittens at the time, hence thumblessness?

Plinky, how do you know they weren't prosthetic?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 4 November 2002 17:22 (twenty-three years ago)

perhaps she was a prothsetyliser?
