Red Lily Bug
Joyce Miller (Sun, 20 Jan 2013 15:31:28 PST)

Hi guys,

Funny, funny. You might well ask whether it is a male finger or a
female one. As a retired horsewoman, I recall the standard measurement for
a horse is a hand i.e. a man's hand = 4 inches. My hand is 3 inches.
Actually, I use the width of my finger. It is not really exact science.
The isopropyl is to penetrate the waxy coating of the mealie bug and the
soap is a "sticker."

In these parts, it's the distance from the tip of your finger to the first
crease.

Or, the length of distal phalanx.

For those of us who don't mix our own drinks, how much (volume-wise) is a
finger?
