Mnemonic

I know why they set aside their fingers long ago, it's because there was no soap (そ). If you didn't have soap to clean your fingers you wouldn't want to keep them for very long...

Hints

Think of all the things you do with your fingers. Now picture how they would look if you had never ever cleaned them with soap. Uhg, disgusting. You should just set them aside here, and find some new ones.
