I was certain you'd wax metaphysical; read some Derrida, for goodness' sake, and discover the ineluctable Other who manifests in the form of an odor-causing bacteria on that inner fold of the perceptible sock, signifying the eternal eccentricity and essential void of which the ingrown toenail is a symptom.

    Not sure how to take that Cat, but "inane" has only two "n's."
