Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters for January 17, 2025

From the Amer. Herit. Dict. 5th Ed.:

plantar adj.

Of, relating to, or occurring on the sole of the foot: plantar warts.

aww… NUTS!!!

That’s peanuts compared to plantar fasciitis.

Wrong.

As a kid, I had them. A little wading in Lake Erie’s polluted water (1950s) knocked them out.

Dry roasting will take them off.

Didn’t know being a gardner gave you warts.

Probably plantar fasciitis, too.

Groan

“…but you’re on a good medical plan, should cost you peanuts to fix.’’

I have Plantar Fasciitis and I wear shoe insoles for it, thank goodness I do not have warts there, I hear they are hard to get rid of. When I need to buy shoes I take the PF insoles out and put them in the new shoes then walk around to see the fit, there are shoes out there where the insoles are glued on or permanent, I don’t get those. Buy shoes that fit and you won’t have foot problems.

I had them both as a teenager. I used the corkscrew on my Swiss Army knife and got rid of them fairly quickly. Luckily without any subsequent infection.

LOL That face!
