Tho I must admit that I would never get that close to the surface with my bare hands while doing this.

    1. That dude running with scissors has remarkable dexterity and aim to be able to quickly target thumbs, specifically. Its impressive.
    2. Did children not wonder why they never met anyone who was missing a thumb? Or was there some sort of bizarre plague in Germany at that time that caused many people to be missing thumbs?

      It’s even more impressive as this seems to be his side-job or even hobby.

      This man is a professional tailor, but in his leisure time he storms like a SWAT team into family homes and his holy mission is to eradicate thumb-sucking everywhere.

      In my opinion the huge scissor means, that there are not only little thumb-suckers out there, but also proportional bigger ones and the tailor wants to be prepared for every one of them equally.

      So he aquired a special kind of skills in his career, handling the huge scissor.

      1. Did children not wonder why they never met anyone who was missing a thumb? Or was there some sort of bizarre plague in Germany at that time that caused many people to be missing thumbs?

      Would you ask questions as a kid if your parents are ok with invasion of privacy and involuntary amputation by some stranger and framing it normal?

        Maybe I’d be afraid of the implication, but I’m pretty sure I’d be skeptical if all of my peers and everyone older than me all had 2 thumbs

          Then it’s the implication AND peer-pressure to have two thumbs. It’s so diabolical perfect.
