During my recent examinations concerning my left foot, I had the chance to use what I thought was a clever joke. A resident doctor, a foreign man (I only point that out for the sake of the quip) looking in on me asked, "How do you think you injured it originally?"
"Probably yanking it out of my mouth," I drolly replied.
He stared at me uncertainly. "I do not understand."
"Oh," I responded. "Well, when we say something stupid, we sometimes say that we put our foot in our mouth."
The doctor smiled. "I shall have to remember that."
"Yes," I chuckled. "But it might not sound good if you asked a patient, So, did you hurt your foot when put it in your mouth?"
Nodding his head with a grin the man said, "I will be careful."
