Toenails

Cut your toenails on a hard, flat surface. You will be bent over double to do it, and some sharp piece will wing off to parts unknown. If it's a hard surface, you may find it. If it's carpet, that piece will stay in the carpet point up, or worse, poke through your sock.

Also count the pieces and check again. There should be ten or more little arcs. They don't rot easily; I'm surprised we haven't found more toenails in archeological digs. Or maybe the archeologists have found so many that they're like, another one? Really?

I found one of my husband's, 8 years after he passed. I knew it was his because it was ripped, not cut, and longer than I ever let my nails get. I found it by stepping on it.
