7 Places You Should Never Stick Your Finger
- On the sharp thorns of a cactus. Say no to cactus caressing.
- Inside an opened tube of Super Glue. Fight that temptation.
- Against the holes of a cheese grater. Freshly shaved skin will not complement the greens in your salad.
- Inside a vicious dog’s mouth. Everyone loses when you play Find the Man Eating Dog’s Tonsils.
- Right through a lightsaber. I’m afraid the force will not be on your side.
- In the interior of an active volcano. Lava leaves a mark.
- And especially not inside a Venus Flytrap.
Seriously folks, heed my advice. You could harm yourself and look foolish.

Never stick (point) your finger on someone else

… and one should never stick one’s finger in the eye of a sleeping lion.

Into the butt hole of a snake…. Wait. Where’s a snake’s butt hole?

Avani-Mehta: True.
Scott McIntyre: You are wise beyond your years.
Writer Dad: That is a great question. Perhaps one day we will know once and for all where the snake’s buttocks lies.

Yeah, have to second the superglue warning.

i will be sure to keep my fingers out of those places. i think i’ve done the 2nd one already though.

No matter how much I try to avoid cactus, rose and raspberry thorns they always get me. I think all these plants have a porcupine response and loosen up their thorns for quick and easy skin penetration.

All of those are very true except the flytrap one, they don’t hurt at all, their “teeth” are very flexible and not very sharp.
I have a flytrap and they are a lot of fun to take care off. And they really do take care of most of your fly problems.

i think they just put the venus fly trap one as a joke

Oh, the cheese grater just sounds painful!
I’d also suggest staying away from the garbage disposal…

Oh come on now, live a little! After all, we do have 8 fingers.

In the monkey cage at the zoo. Those monkeys just look sweet and adorable . . .

Oh, and I’ve had a few super glue incidents I don’t care to remember.

8 fingers if we were all living in the Simpsons cartoon

Hi Flying Llama Fish,
I have to confess, I’ve tried the super glue one. You can’t always believe everything you read. Can you?

I kinda like to test the prickliness of cactus plants. I guess it’s the whole “living on the edge” thing.

This is hilarious! I like Scott’s warning. Be mindful if you visit your local Zoo.

Vered: Thank you for having my back.
natural: I wish you luck on keeping your finger out of these seven places. Don’t sweat falling victim to number two… we have all been there.
Urban Panther: Cacti are out to get you. Be careful!
Venus Flytrap Owner: I salute you on raising that whipper snapper of a plant.

Lance: A garbage disposal is certainly a place no finger belongs!
Davina: It sounds like you have been doing a lot of living!
Marelisa: So true. Sometimes it is the cuter things in life that are most harmful to our fingers.
Technokid: How sweet it would be to teleport to Springfield.
Barbara: You certainly can not!
AL at 7P: You are living the dream.
Shilpan: Thank you! I agree… the zoo is a dangerous place.
