Jon's working at the lumberyard, pushing a tree
through the buzz saw, and accidentally shears off
all ten of his fingers. He goes to the emergency room.
The doctor says, "Yuck! Well, give me the fingers,
and I'll see what I can do."
Jon says, "I haven't got the fingers."
The doctor says, "What do you mean, you haven't got
the fingers? It's the year 2000. We've got
microsurgery and all kinds of incredible techniques.
I could have put them back on and made
you like new. Why didn't you bring the fingers?"
Jon says, "Well, heck, Doc, I couldn't pick 'em up."

Doesn't work in any place where people do not habitually wear closed
shoes. My question: why didn't he use his toes then?
