A woman was not feeling well, so she visited her doctor. The good doctor, after giving her a thorough examination, said grimly, “Mrs Goode, I am sorry to have to say this, but if you want to get well again you would have to lose a foot.”
“What!?! You mean my foot has to be amputated?”
“Oh, no, no…”replied the good doctor, “I mean you have to lose 12 inches from around your waistline!”
