"Guess which toe is broken"
Boston, MA – Ladies and Gentlemen, what you have just seen is a compound fracture of the big toe (spoiler alert.) The Primary Care Physician to the uninsured/unemployed (WebMD) defines a compound fracture exactly the way you think it would be defined: Compound (kom-pow-nd) fracture – “You will know when you have a compound fracture because a bone that was previously hidden beneath your skin is now exposed to daylight. Also, some symptoms you may exhibit when you have a compound fracture is making such proclamations as “OH MY MOTHER FUCKING GOD!”, “YOU FUCKING CUNT”, and “PLEASE GO BACK UNDER MY SKIN AND BEHAVE WITH THE OTHER BONES!” and/or vomiting all over yourself. If you believe you, or someone you know, may be the victim of a compound fracture, you should quickly pay a visit to the nearest emergency room prior to all of the blood leaving your body, hence, becoming lifeless for good. WebMD not responsible if you bled out while reading this definition.”
Now, that toe, the exposed bone, and all the blood belongs to Jon “Bones” Jones, who is, to quote a famous brown leather wallet of cinema, a “Bad Motherfucker.” Not only did he snap his big toe like you or I ferociously snap into a Slim Jim or a Polly-O string cheese, but he did it while punching someone’s face into the mat during his MMA bout this past Saturday night. After breaking his toe, Jon went on to win the fight anyway, refusing to think about the pain or, like when I got hit by a pitch in Little League, calling a time-out to cry.
At the time of this blog, there is no information on when those colonies of toe fungus settled into Jon’s feet. My guess is “9 years ago.”
