Bumper Sticker
The other day as I was driving in to work, I was behind this "ritzy" car that had a bumper sticker that read:

"As individual fingers we can be easily broken
but together we make a mighty fist"

That is so true.....and so inspiring......

The fingers in a fist are also easily broken. That's why boxers wear gloves.

It prevents your hand from getting too badly damaged, but thereby enables you to damage your opponent more.

For an example of someone breaking a finger when punching without gloves, see Jeremy Clarkson vs Piers Morgan.

sosia has a spectacular aura aboutsosia has a spectacular aura about
"As individual fingers we can be easily broken
but together we make a mighty fist"

in my case
"As individual fingers we can be easily broken
but together we make ......... let's call it a fist"
As pjt33 stayed, my fist is no "Mighty" and can easily be broken.
