I'VE ALWAYS HEARD AUNT EMMA COULD TAKE WARTS OFF. I NEVER
BELIEVED IT. I HAD A WART ON MY THUMB AND IT BOTHERED ME
WHEN I WAS BOWLING. ONE NIGHT EMMA WAS THERE BOWLING
AND I WENT OVER AND SHE SAID "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR
THUMB?" SO I TOLD HER I HAD A WART. WELL, SHE DIDN'T
TOUCH IT OR SAY A WORD, BUT THAT WART WENT AWAY RIGHT
AFTER THAT.
