A very short lady goes to her doctor's office complaining of an irritated crotch.

After an examination, the doctor sighs and says, "I don't seem to see any problem. Does it get better or worse at any time?"

"Yeah, it's really bad whenever it rains," she replies.

"Well, then," says the doctor, "the next time it rains, get in here at once, and we'll take another look at it."

Two weeks later, it is raining really hard, and the little lady shows up at the doctor's office.

"Doctor, it's really bad today. Please, you have to help me!"

"Well, let's have a look," he says as he lifts her up onto the table.

"Oh, yes, I see the problem. Nurse, bring me a surgical kit. Don't worry, ma'am. This won't hurt a bit."

The short lady closes her eyes in painful anticipation. The doctor begins snipping away and finishes a few minutes later.

"There you go, ma'am, try that."

She walks back and forth around the office and exclaims, "That's great, doc. What did you do??"

The doctor replies, "I just took a couple inches off the top of your rain boots."
