Hi, Apart from this humorous joke, it is a pity that you have not provided any context. Please do not stint on context: we have to invest a great deal of effort in finding out the meaning you are looking for. cms Mark Inglis derives great pleasure from mountaineering, but unfortunately he lost a few fingers during an expedition to the Everest.

  • In the response above, Inglis cheerfully made a reference to his physical disability—or, to put it another way, he was just kidding.
  • I will interpret his words, albeit embarrassingly: Since he does not have a few "crucial" fingers, he cannot put his finger inside his nose (to remove mucus), or flip someone the finger (an impolite gesture) on the road.
