   One day a man was shaving his face all of a sudden he cut off his nose. In his fright he let the blade fall and it cut off his toe. In his hurry he put his toe where his nose should be and his nose where his toe should be. Whenever he wanted to blow his nose he had to take off his boot. The other day he blew his nose and forgot to take off his boot and it hit a lady in the face.
