I bent down to relieve an irritating itch, when between my toes my finger went. Shortly after, I noticed an irritable stench, from my index finger near my nose's vent.
What to do with a fragrance so very ripe, stuck upon the finger of my left hand? Smellin worse than an animal with a stripe, this 'stuff' that most refer to as 'Toe Jam'.
Don't want to waste it, no that's just not cool, got to be a way to share it - ain't that right? No one living around my place to play the fool, so I share it with my sleeping cat... 'Starlight'.
She noticeably twitches her nose a time or two, then slowly opens her squinted, sleepy eyes. Then suddenly with ALL her senses, she comes to, jumping, twirling and spinning like a cat that flies!
The 'Toe Jam Kitty' did it again! She made me smile, her glaring eyes piercing back at me upon my bed. The fun effect she delivers makes it all worth while, When sharing 'Toe Jam' with her without the bread.

Hi John,
This is brilliant mate. I can imagine your little sleeping kitty coming to life with a whiff of that home made catnip. What a devil you are I can so imagine the reaction. This one has to rate up there with the best...I mean worst!!

Yeeks !!!! This is very funny and clever. I like it.
I remember once I was by Mount Rushmore and I had an itch in my toes, but it bled instead. I had been working at a bakery washing dishes and my feet suffered from it.
