I hurt my foot a few days ago Tripped over the stairs and partially separated my left big toenail. It's getting better, but it still hurts a fair bit. Yesterday I was walking to class with a female friend of mine who's a cell biology major. I hadn't told her yet about what happened, so eventually she said ""So why are you limping, anyway?"" I turned to her, looked her straight in the face, and without missing a beat, I said: ""My toe, sis!""
