Do you think you might like to have a tail?

Scientists say that humans had a tail at one time. I was wondering what it would be like to have a tail. (I got to get out of the house more.) It might be cool to have an extra hand at times. Look what we've done with only two hands, what if we had a tail, too? Just think, two lovers, tail in tail. It would be a lot easier to rock the cradle, shoo flies. People would be writing books on proper tail etiquette. Do you think you might like to have a tail?
Maybe you'd like to have another animal feature?

Naw, I can't even properly control the appendages I have now.

?? REALLY! Heck No!

 

[jujube]

Well, it would have to be a prehensile tail or it would just be something else to get in the way.

Not with MY dog!

When I was about 4 I asked my mother to cot a hole in my pants so I could get my tail out and wag it. She had no sense of humour.

I think I already have one, it's at the front, somewhere under my belly, it's nothing much to look at, and I certainly can't wag it.

Can't imagine what clothing would look like. And for sure the women that wear string bikini's would not look the same.

Oh my, let me think. A long one, a short one, a skinny one, a fat one, a stumpy one, a fuzzy one, a slick one.....
So many choices....
Nope, I am content with what I already have, and really don't need anything else. But-thank you for the offer.

No tail but I wouldn't mind the exceptional day and night eyesight of some animals.

Some people are born with a tail. In some cultures, they are worshiped. Vestigial tails can be removed with surgery. No, I have no wish for one.

 

[Alligatorob]

I don't know, maybe... I'd give it a try.

When I read the header I automatically turned around to see if anyone was following me!

 

[Jace]

Ridiculous!!

 

[JustBonee]

Might be entertaining when bored ..

Human embryos have tails but they fall off before birth.

Although the human tail is completely eliminated at birth, human embryos have a distinct tail during development. Moreover, the human tail is at first relatively long, but the length is then reduced during embryonic development and disappears at the end of the embryonic phase.

This got me thinking about having a tail.

A nice long one, that I could control:
1. Enough to raise and shape like a question mark when I hear BS...
2. Wrap through those belt loops on my Levis to hold up my pant with style...
3. Strong enough for a cup holder and a brew...

Etc.

 

[Ruthanne]

Yeah, why not...they are cute and express happiness and Now to find some proper pants that support a tail

 

[ronaldj]

40 years as a carpenter, on ladders, roofs, scaffolding...yes we need tails.

I think it would make sitting in a chair less comfortable.
I would rather have opposable big toes so that I could pick up things without bending.
Of course, that would only work when I was barefoot, so probably not as beneficial as first thought.

 

[Fyrefox]

A tail, absolutely! Of course, there’s a lot to be said also for upright ears and a nice muzzle…

Maybe wings.

 

[Pepper]

I used to want a tail, but that was a very long time ago. I thought it would be useful displaying emotions.

 

[katlupe]

Nope. Just one more thing to go wrong.

 

[JaniceM]

Why?
