For longer distances use the distance between your thumb and pink. Move your thumb to your pinkie and repeat this all along the object you would like to measure. You then have only to multiply the number of times you moved your hand with the distance you already measured between the thumb and pinkie...

Edit: I always that it was pink instead of pinkie/pinky ..

It weirds me out that you said “pink” not pinky twice.

I always sip my tea with my pink sticking out proudly.

"Pinky" is for smaller 5th digits. Apparently that poster has an extremely long 5th digit.

when my fingers are spread out it is 8 inches from thumb tip to pinky tip. I have used that for all sorts of things, incredibly useful.
