Martha Shumway:
Yes, yes, things can always be worse - like my uncle Wilbur, who used to work in a cardboard factory. He came home one day with a splinter in his finger - just a little bitty old splinter. But it turned out that he had blood poisoning.

Charlie Haggers:
Well, that's terrible.

Martha Shumway:
And next day, they amputated his leg.

Charlie Haggers:
On account of a splinter in his finger?

Martha Shumway:
Oh no, no, not because of that. They found a growth in his leg.
