Richard Gibson keeps his most cherished item on a shelf in his Lafayette, Louisiana, home.
It’s not a picture of his loved ones, nor a prized trophy, it’s a jar containing every single toenail and fingernail he’s clipped off himself since February, 1978.
“I remember it well. I still have the manicure kit,” he told The Huffington Post.
Gibson, a 58-year-old oil investor, was clipping his toenails when he decided to put the clippings into the manicure box instead of the trash can.
“I started doing it again and again and then decided to see how long it would take to fill the box,” he said proudly.
It took only two years to fill the box, but by then he was hooked, and moved his collection to the glass jar he currently uses.
“I have no idea how many nails are in the jar,” Gibson said. “It’s well into the thousands.”
