Tho I must admit that I would never get that close to the surface with my bare hands while doing this.

      Piranhas have dozens of uses. Food, bait, aesthetics/decor, pranks, weapons of surprise, scissors, evil lairs…

            1. That dude running with scissors has remarkable dexterity and aim to be able to quickly target thumbs, specifically. Its impressive.
            2. Did children not wonder why they never met anyone who was missing a thumb? Or was there some sort of bizarre plague in Germany at that time that caused many people to be missing thumbs?

              1. That dude running with scissors has remarkable dexterity and aim to be able to quickly target thumbs, specifically. Its impressive.

              It’s even more impressive as this seems to be his side-job or even hobby.

              This man is a professional tailor, but in his leisure time he storms like a SWAT team into family homes and his holy mission is to eradicate thumb-sucking everywhere.

              In my opinion the huge scissor means, that there are not only little thumb-suckers out there, but also proportional bigger ones and the tailor wants to be prepared for every one of them equally.

              So he aquired a special kind of skills in his career, handling the huge scissor.

              1. Did children not wonder why they never met anyone who was missing a thumb? Or was there some sort of bizarre plague in Germany at that time that caused many people to be missing thumbs?

              Would you ask questions as a kid if your parents are ok with invasion of privacy and involuntary amputation by some stranger and framing it normal?

                Maybe I’d be afraid of the implication, but I’m pretty sure I’d be skeptical if all of my peers and everyone older than me all had 2 thumbs

                  Then it’s the implication AND peer-pressure to have two thumbs. It’s so diabolical perfect.

          • Bucket of piranhas perched above a door.

          • Put a piranha in the apple bobbing barrel for a “hardcore” mode.

          • April fools (self explanatory).

          This is just scratching the surface

            • Fresh piranha about 2/3 down & under the duvet – an unusual surprise for your partner.
            • Piranha in the coffee mug - a classic.
            • Replace a coworker’s mouse with a live piranha (timing is important – don’t want the poor thing to suffocate, have a bowl of water handy).

            The possibilities are endless.
