Toe

Toe story

Monday morning I was taking a shower - an extra good one - prior to my doctor's appointment.  I'm just standing there when, of a sudden, I had a piercing pain shoot through the tip of toe number 3. Felt like I'd stepped on a broken glass salt shaker.  A  careful examination revealed not a mark, and yet it was three hours before I could put weight on it.  Anyway, after doing what he does, the Doc asked if there was anything else bothering me, so, more for chit-chat value than anything else - because I know how much physicians enjoy chit-chat - I mentioned my toe.  Without missing a beat he asked, "Have you been annoying Vladimir Putin?" True story.
