Could you give me the full sentence of this?

Figured I'd let my figers do the walking.

I heard that sentence in CIS.6X04. I can guess what it means, but I want to know the full grammar structure of that. Could you give me the full sentence of it?

Thanks.

Do you mean:

"I just decided that I would let my fingers do the walking."

(I assume you're aware of the "Yellow Pages" slogan.)

The complete phrase is "let your fingers do the walking through the yellow pages", the yellow pages being those in the phone book that list businesses by the services they provide. [It's also a phrase that choir directors use to limber up the cheek and lip muscles during a regular warm-up.]

Yes, I know it is the "Yellow Pages" slogan. However, grammartically, I can`t understand how the sentence is structuered. You know, "Figured" can`t simply be added and placed in front of "I'd let my figers do the walking." because it`s not an adverb. I guess a phrase must be omited in front of "Figured". I hope you will tell me that.

Thanks.
