Actually it stems from this.....
The ancient Greeks venerated a long second toe as the ideal of physical perfection. You can still see these long toes on ancient Greek and Roman statues. The Vikings believed that a long second toe meant you’d have a long life.

Better not tell Jan that she is perfect. :lol:


Does the fact it is one of several arthritic toes have any impact on the perfection and long life standings?
