This was our own silly private joke! Morton's Syndrome is when the second toe is longer than the big toe. My lovely lady has this 'problem'....which occasions her to buy thousands of pairs of shoes to get the protruding toe to fit without the shoes being too big....thats her excuse anyway!!!!!!
I saw the roots of this tree and couldn't resist labelling it.
FOOTNOTE for the spelling sensitive: I know I missed the R out...but couldn't be bothered redoing it.
I was told it was something that Greek and Roman patrician families had!
Actually it stems from this.....
The ancient Greeks venerated a long second toe as the ideal of physical perfection. You can still see these long toes on ancient Greek and Roman statues. The Vikings believed that a long second toe meant you’d have a long life.
Better not tell Jan that she is perfect.
