   I have made this exact proclamation to countless blank stares. I thought I was alone in my projections.

   Sometimes the smartest people wear beards.

   I have a beard. My fingernails don’t.

   Do you make up little stories for them to act out?

   Does it hurt when you cut them?

   I used to draw faces on my fingernails when I was little. It made sense to me. Maybe it would’ve made more sense to my Mother if I hadn’t used permanent marker.

   I can’t pretend to speak for any other fingernail famoso, but it is more a case of seeing someone you know — an actual person — in the nail itself. It is not unlike finding the Virgin Mary on a saltine in Florida.

   I’m no scientist, but I think it’s a based partly on the shape of the free edge of the nail in relation to the person’s smile.

   ashur, I agree. that’s the way ‘I see it’ as well.
