It's Monday morning and Mr Smith has gone to see the doctor.
Doctor: Hello Mr Smith. We haven't seen you in a while. What seems to be the problem?
Mr Smith Well, I fell off the ladder whilst I was decorating and hurt my ankle. It swelled up and hasn't gone down since.
Doctor: OK - let's have a look, take off your shoe and sock and roll up your trouser leg.

Mr Smith: What? You're joking! No wonder it hurts so much.
