After much careful consideration, I have determined the benefits that lunulites will receive:

1. Ability to double manufacture’s coupons at your local grocery stores.
2. Ability to use the senior discount at IHOP (regardless of age).
3. Ability to chose a shortened (approximately 1/2 length) version of vacation timeshare presentations.

Hear these and weep, o lesser people.

From the OP:

Sounds to me like your left thumb disqualifies you from membership in your own club.

But you’ve still provided a valuable service to us; now we know who should be first up against the wall when the revolution comes.

Vive lunulae!

What do mixed lunulites get? Or is it the old “one nail” rule?
