first second third
Me: [With constipated look] I can't move my fourth toe.
Doc: [Blithely unconcerned] Yes. I think your tendon has either torn or ruptured.
Me: [Voice rising in alarm] But it will heal, right? Or I can't move it forever?
Doc: [Reassuringly] Yes, forever. But don't worry, you don't need your fourth toe to walk or balance.

Ya. Lke Tim Robbins as President of the United States said of the moon that the dastardly Dr Evil was threatening to blowup! " Would you miss it? Would you?"
Anyway the big toe and the second lieutenant are for picking up stuff like tissue on the floor when you are too lazy or pot-bellied to bend. (I remember when I was a baby, my nanny picking up my face towel with her toes once!!! Still got pimple scar there to prove it)
Also for keeping your Japanese slippers from flying off .
And sometimes for pinching people when they are too far for your fingers to reach.
The other three (or six?) are just to keep them company you know? Or like chaperones...So those two won't end up bonking each other in the warmth and dark of the shoe.
