I have this friend who seemed to lean slightly to the left all the time. It used to bother me, so I suggested he see a doctor, and have his legs checked out. For years, he refused… told me I was crazy. But last week, he finally went, and sure enough, the doctor discovered his left leg was 1/4″ shorter than his right.

A quick bit of orthopaedic surgery later, he was cured, and both legs are exactly the same length now, and he no longer leans. “So,” I said, “You didn’t believe me when I told you a doctor could fix your leg.” He just looked at me and said, … “I stand corrected.”
