No Sex for You

"No sex for a week or two," my doctor said.

"That seems like a fairly severe prescription for recovery from an ingrown toenail," I protested.

"What," the doctor said, looking puzzled.

Pause.

"What did you just tell me again," I asked.

"You shouldn't wear socks for a week or two," he repeated.

"Oh," I nodded. "Yeah."
