Cutting and splitting firewood by hand is a good way to keep warm in the winter. Doing it by hand is more environmentally sound.

Indeed. I'm in complete agreement with you.

Tell you what, why don't you come round my place and cut firewood by hand for me? You can demonstrate your green credentials to the world (I'll post a video of you) and help safe the environment into the bargain.

could have played the the piano with her toes.

Can anyone out there say they can wiggle a specific
toe to order?

Sure.

Oh, do you mean "... other than the big toe" and "... alone, without wiggling any other toes not so ordered"?
