When is a Big Toe, NOT a Big Toe? That is the Question.

The Story of 'J's' Big Toe. (Not her real name!!)


Big toes are funny things. Normally they are on the inside edge of the row of toes on your feet.
Not "J's" Well, not exactly.
As a bunch of friends relaxed over a liquid refreshment of the vino variety, one friend put her feet up....or should I say...her TOES up!


There, pointing to the sky like an obelisk were 'those' toes.


Not the stumpy fat big toe that we all expect...but...the one next to it.


Most of us have 2 big toes, but , well, in 'J's' case...its more like four 'Podiatric pencils.'
There, before our very eyes were the toes that would be the envy of every piano player. The toes that every professional angler would just love to have. A toe which arrives 2 minutes earlier than the rest of them, anywhere 'J' goes.


Here are two toes which would be the envy of every goal umpire. Imagine the goal umpire leaping into the air with every goal and pointing those two Podiatry Pointers at the crowd! A whole new era of goal umpiring beckons.


A new art in pointing the finger...has just become 'Pointing the Podiatry Pinky'. "Excuse me, but where is the local Hotel, s'il vous plais?" "Voila, ici!" comes the reply, with a two-toe goal scoring salute, indicating the way!
