I can carry 5 heavy plastic bags of groceries with only one of these fingers. Clearly that is a sign of functionality. I'm glad I got mine. It would be horrible trying to type without one. Try typing the word type without wanting to use yours. It helps in sign language too.

i know my answer isn't funny, but the pinky probably doesn't have a specific purpose, but also never had a reason to be eliminated via evolution. most mammals are pentadactyl (have five digits) and when our hands developed for grasping, there was no reason for that digit to be lost, so it was kept. also, there was no reason for it to be very big and strong, so it's not. so far as why most mammals are pentadactyl, i don't know, but it must have helped us out somewhere down the line! sorry, i know most people think this kind of stuff is boring!! (i love it though :) )

The pinky is essential for reaching the boogers that are too far in the nose that the index finger can't get to. It is always good to keep the pinky around for those "emergency booger extractions." It is like the specific tool in your tool box that is used for only one thing, but when you pull it out you are glad you have it for that once in a blue moon time to use it. the Index finger is more like the screwdriver that you use once a week for something.
-
To play piano, guitar, and any other instrument well, really.

How else would we type our 'Q's and 'A's? Or 'P's for that matter! It would make it difficult to play the piano and the flute! How would I get water out of my ear or put on my lip gloss? What would I do with my pinky rings? And I wouldn't be able to spell out Roll Tide on my fingernails there wouldn't be enough of them! The thumbs just don't work the same!
