You can’t spell mississippi without using a lot of letters

On the wall of

my doctor’s office

there is a photo

of a fellow who had

his thumb

severed in an

industrial accident

***

and the doctor

actually replaced

his missing

thumb with the

man’s big toe.

***

And, well, that’s fine for him.

***

And a thumb

is important.

***

But no thanks.

  1. I’ve just been discussing this with my old man. We both came to the conclusion that ideally he should have opted for the big toe of a fellow who had died in a tragic accident and had donated his body parts for transplant. The old boy sends his regards, by the way and will be back blogging soon as the blind eye that was, now isn’t.

  2. I can think of another body part which might have been used for a replacement, but I doubt the public is ready to embrace such a handy way to make whoopee or urinate….not to mention, the zipper industry would probably suffer a downturn. :(
