Boots on the Floor?

Today I had a biopsy------nothing to be concerned about though. It was just a troublesome little cyst type warty thing on the back of my leg. The dermatologist, dutifully outfitted in his sanitary gloves, and armed with scalpel and specimen jar, injected the site with novocaine and scraped off the suspect area. Then he dropped it on the floor, bent down, and used the curette-y instrument to scoop the sample of skin from the floor to the sterile collection jar. It will be sent to the lab for testing, and then the office will call me with the results. I hope cow-doo DNA doesn't turn up in the lab tests. This did take place in Vermont.
