Hey, Sarge, Can You Help Me With My Boot?
This is what my dad considers appropriate dinner conversation. At someone else's house. The hostess and I were discussing manicures.
"In the army, our sergeant had a finger where the tip had been cut off right at the base of the nail. The nail grew out of the end like a talon. He was really good at untying knots."
Mm-hm.
Lemonade from lemons, you see.
