Weird things always happen to me, and today is no different.
I went to lunch and parked in front of my favorite Chinese place. There is a small community college that shares a parking lot with the place, and being the parking lot was fairly full, I had to park closer to the college than the restaurant. I went ahead and at (MMMMMM....General Tso's Chicken!), and walked back to my car. Walking by my car were three women (one older, and two younger- no bad lookin'). They stopped and asked "Hey, can you help us out? We need to see your foot." I was a bit shocked for a second, and then asked them why. The older woman responded "Well, we need to see something." So I agreed and took off my right shoe and sock. All three of them bent over, started separating my 3 middle toes and bending them up and down. Then they starting saying stuff like "There! See! Uhuh!"
They stood up, said thanks, then said "Aren't you in Jamieson's class?"
I replied "Uh, I graduated from UT like 10 years ago."
All three got this shocked look on their face and the older one said "You're not a student?!"
"Uhhh.....no, I'm not."
"Well, thanks for letting us use your foot anyway." Then they walked away with me standing there holding my sock and shoe.
Which brings us to some valid points and questions I think I have:
1. WHAT in the SAM F(&**& just HAPPENED?
2. This shows the difference between men and women. Woman asks man to play with his foot: man is willing and ready to go because it might be something sexual. Man asks woman to play with her foot: woman calls police because it might be something sexual.
3. Assuming that these three women were in some kind of medical class, what the heck can you tell by spreading someone's toes apart and bending them every which way?
4. This is a good example of why daily foot care is essential. Keeping your nails trimmed and calluses sanded down avoids embarrassing surprise foot inspections.
UPDATE! I saw one of the girls that was in the group today in that same parking lot. I asked her what all the foot business was about yesterday, and she said that they were in an anatomy class and were looking for an example of how men have a greater presence of something called "syndactyly", which is "inter-toe and finger webbing". They thought I was in one of their classes and that's why they asked me. They were really embarrased when they found out I was a complete stranger, apologized, and said that my feet were in better shape than hers (which is a compliment I an honestly say I've never gotten). Heheheh.....nothing like a logical explaination.
