Why?

Post by Goofproof » Sun Sep 13, 2015 2:19 pm

Why would someone with 10 fingers decide to put a O2 monitor on his toes. I tried it and had a hard time getting my shoes on. The 5 mile marathon made my big toe hurt.

I think it would be better to put it on your tongue, unless the piercings interfere. Jim
