          Wait. Was this taken in the Croissante region? It’s just that they’re very particular about this, and I just want to make sure those are, in fact, croissant fields, and not sparkling crescent rolls.

            Also his left hand only has 3 fingers. Either that or the pinky has a similar texture to the ground. Hard to tell based on the lighting.

              that’s because harvesting croissants uses really dangerous sharp tools to cut them off the stems and workers lose digits all the time. It’s why the French have great single payer healthcare.

                Of course, I should have thought about what would happen if you try to tear a fresh croissant from the stem without cutting it.

          Maybe, but if you look at the man’s left hand then is he Jesus? What is that? A weird watch or a stake?
