Larry had no objection to toes. He never thought much about them, really. Sure, they help us to stand up straight and balance on two feet…but so what!? They’re just little nubbly things. They’re not sexy or cool like fingers (at least you can pick your nose and scratch your ass with fingers). Toes are shit. They make lousy ear rings, smell worse than ass crack and are too bony to eat (even sautéed in olive oil with mushrooms and onions) and they taste like chum, anyway.
So why?…..What’s the sense of growing one right out from the center of his forehead? How could he have gone to bed last night, feeling like a perfectly normal modern man (with hypertension, diabetes and chronic back pain) …and wake up the next morning with such bad luck? What kind of rotten cosmic karma did he upset for nature – or god (or whatever) to decide to put a big gnarly, fully grown toe, right smack between his eyes?
Seriously though, wasn’t it bad enough that he already had a whole festering patch of them growing down his back?…..UGHHH!!! What’s the sense of it all!!?
***I’m pretty sure Larry isn’t the only one who wakes up every morning with awkward growths or nasty lumps. Some are easy to dispatch, others we just have to live with – to be sure, I’ve noticed it becoming yet another disturbing trend among a broken people in our broken society. But…all is not lost. The solution to all your woes can be found in the pages of our new book, ‘Marsha Mellow’s Blue-ish Freaks.’ You can find it by following the link above to www.sallemander.com. -Marsha
