He Didn’t Nail It, And That’s Not Gonna Cut It

I work in a martial arts gym. A kid comes in with long nails, so I tell him he needs to cut them and point him in the direction of the clippers. When I say “kid”, I mean the guy is sixteen years old.

He comes back about ten minutes later. I look at one of his hands, and the nails are still all long.

Me: “What have you been doing?”

Kid: “I cut all the nails on my left hand. But… I’m right-handed, so I don’t know how to cut the nails on my right hand.”
