Timmo's Personal Ponderous Proverbs - Verse 4

Well my friends, it's been a long time since I've shared one of my pearls of wisdom so here is the latest one for you meditate on:

“The Man who findeth a blister on his toe and yet findeth that it doth not hurt should be wary of what he may find inside.”




Having recently played a lot of football I was not surprised the other day to find what I thought was a large blister on one of my toes. However on closer examination I discovered that when touching it, it did not hurt in the slightest. This I found strange as blisters, even when only small, sting like hell. It was then that I remembered back to my early days in Uganda in 2000 when I had a similar blister looking ailment of the toe.

Knowing what needed to be done I sent for Tom, who not only is a very good gardener but also dabbles in small-scale surgical procedures. Armed with a sharp pin he skilfully undertook this simple, yet life saving (or at least toe-saving) procedure. Scraping away the top-skin he finally exposed the little fella that had been living snugly inside my toe a “jigga” or worm! All part and parcel of life in Uganda my friends!

Oh, and Tom says could I please promote his business so yes, Tom’s surgery is open 9-5 every day, by way of appointment for a range of small-scale procedures including jigga removal, anti-malarial suppository insertion (complete with Vaseline lubrication) and rabies injections along with a limited range of ‘erbal remedies!
