The Sixth Toe

I once met a teenage girl who as a little girl had 6 toes on one of her feet. She had it surgically removed, and kept it as a souvenir in a jar (I think with formaldehyde?). I know, pretty gross. True story. If I had been born with 6 toes, I think I might have just kept it attached...Maybe not, who knows. I suppose it might be uncomfortable because shoes wouldn't' fit quite right, and also uncomfortable to have people point and laugh.
