Dinner with my mother

[todayiamadaisy]

My mother was telling me about a patient, a dairy farmer, who came in for emergency surgery last night. While he doing the morning milking, one of his cows stood on his foot. It hurt a bit, he said, but not terribly much; it happens, and he thought he'd probably have the usual nasty bruise. He kept thinking that all day until he was undressing for bed, when he took off his socks... and a toe came off in one of them.

How could you not notice a loose toe rattling about?
