Those two fingers
The last two on each hand. The ring finger and the little finger.

You don't need them. Think about it, what tasks do you take part in that actually require those two fingers? I can't think of any.

To prove this point I decided to cellotape those fingers to the palm of my hands, to discourage me from using them throughout the day. I got about an hour into it before I was washing my hair and realised it was a bit difficult, and ripped the cellotape off.

I still think this is a valid point though. Even though it was difficult washing my hair with only 4 fingers and 2 thumbs, it wasn't impossible. Those fingers are pointless.

Well if you're only going to use your little finger
It probably isn't worth doing. Be a man.

I use all my fingers.
I play various instruments, so they are pretty useful to me...

Mork
You cant do the hand signal associated with Mork's greeting 'Nanu nanu' if you dont have all your fingers. Which might be a good thing because Robin Williams is a knob jockey.

If you can type
reasonably well, then you use them all. As do I.

I use my ring finger
to rest my pen on when I'm writing. It is possible to write with the pen on my middle finger but my writing deteriorates into something akin to that of a blind and drunk caveman.
