Aren't the macho chefs like Robert Irwin proud of their scars?

I was in a mini-mart once, not long after an energitic "playdate" with
my fully clawed kitten. Plenty of souveniers. The clerk asked if I
was a cook. My first thought was that I was a much better cook than
that! Couldn't tell this week by looking at my thumb. The nail on
the finger has pretty much grown out. I'd be either easier or much
more difficult to identify by fingerprints depending on old the
refenernce prints are.
