Thumb Surgery For Better iPhone Usage

Would you have surgery done to your fingers so you can use your iPhone better or any other phone for that matter? Not me dude. I would stick to an earlier generation phone that has normal sized buttons. Thomas Martel of Bobbie Brae, North Denver obviously wants to be trendy at whatever cost. Or maybe his fingers were just really fat. Martel had both of his thumbs cut open and bones shaven narrower so that his fingers can push the iPhone buttons more easily! Talk about an extreme body modification!
