When I was in college, I was watching a sign painter work, and something looked very wrong. I just couldn't put my thoughts on what it was. This fellow was extremely large, about 6'6" or more, and every bit of 250 pounds. When he was finished, he asked me how long I had been observing him. I said about 30 minutes. He then asked me if I noticed anything strange about the way that he painted. I told him that something just didn't seem right, but he was a big guy with very large hands. That was when he held up one hand, and with the other, started to count off on his fingers. Each hand had 6 fingers on it. His hands looked perfectly normal in the finger spacing. He said that he was born that way, and his parents wouldn't allow the doctors to remove the 6 finger. He also commented that it was a good thing, since it would have made his hands grotesque with a space between fingers. He was truly a gentle giant, and a great sign painter.
