What if we had tails?

Oh no!!!  Rooster wouldn't say "Pull my finger!"  He'd say "Pull my tail!"  Aaagghhhh!!!!

I'd be chasing my tail all of the time.

My dogs don't even have tails! Lol

Seriously, at least as serious as I can be for this question, I am glad we don't. Finding pants that fit properly now is a problem. Adding a tail would only make it worse. If you tail was off just a little you could end up with some seripus chaffing.

That would mean that we would have shared a common ancestor with the telephone. Lookit this:

Probably get in the way! Didn't seem to bother Barf though !

Does this dress make my tail look fat ?

I would 'accidentally' (on purpose) hit some people with it. Hard.

Some people still do . . . Yes, LITERALLY . .

"Because there are only between 20 and 30 cases of "true" vestigial tails since the late 1800s, there is some controversy about what such a tail contains. Some early accounts say that there are sometimes extra vertebrae in such tails. No modern tails have been found to have any bone tissue. They're mostly skin with fat, connective tissue, nerves, and muscle tissue. They can be just a stub, but some babies can be born with tails 13 centimeters long. The tails aren't strictly useless inert structures. Because they have muscle tissue inside, they can actually be twitched back and forth, or even contracted into curves. These days babies don't have their tails long enough to gain a lot of muscle control over them. Removing them is a simple operation, usually done not long after birth."
