1. This morning when I woke up, I got out of bed and then I noticed a peppermint on the floor. I bent over to pick it up and on the way up I clobbered my proboscis on the open dresser drawer. What in the world is a proboscis? Elbow Nose Knee Head

2. I decided to have a shower. As I started to climb into the shower stall I stepped on the pumice stone, scraping my big toe. What is a pumice stone? An abrasive rock from volcanoes Grout Luffa sponge Piece of rock from the sauna

3. I was enjoying my breakfast until I poured some calcium carbonate onto my cereal. What in the world did I put on my cereal? Chalk Sugar Baking soda Salt

4. Now that breakfast is over, it is time to head to the bus stop and go to work. On my way there, I caught my foot in a rain gutter and twisted my talocrural joint, dropping to my knees in agony, tearing holes in my new pantyhose and scuffing my knees, dropping my briefcase, which opened, and the wind blew my files all over the street. What in the world is a talocrural joint? Knee Ankle Big toe Hip joint

5. Once I managed to gather all of my files, I had to phone a taxi, so that I could get to work on time. Well, the cab came and off we went. The clouds opened up and rain started to pour into the window. I frantically tried to roll the window up and I got the handle jammed in my flounce. I got soaked. What is a flounce? Type of bomber jacket Skirt ruffles File folder Type of hat

6. Completely frustrated, I paid the cab driver and walked toward my office building. Stepping up the curb I slipped in a puddle and broke a shank. It was painless, but what did I break this time? Part of the arch supporting structure of a shoe Part of the toe structure of a shoe Part of the heel structure of a shoe Part of the tongue structure of the shoe

7. Finally I made it into my building. I work on the 57th floor. When I got to the elevators all three of them were full and going up to the 136th floor. I thought, “Give me a break!” Who was the inventor of the elevator brake? Thomas Edison Eli Whitney Alexander Graham Bell Elisha Graves Otis

8. The elevator did not brake and come back down to get me so I had to take the stairs. Climbing 57 flights of stairs is not easy. By the time I reached the top I could hardly breathe and I had cramps in my gastrocnemius muscles. What was giving me such a surge of burning pain? Chest muscles Stomach muscles Calf muscles Buttocks muscles

9. I flung open the door from the stairway and before I could stop it, the door crashed into the wall and flung back hitting me on my zygomatic bone. That really hurt! What did I injure? Shoulder bone Jaw bone Cheek bone Inner ear bone

10. Bruised face, soaking wet, a broken shoe, sprained ankle, swollen nose, scraped toe, sick stomach, huffing and puffing, I hurried to try to tidy up because I was told to go to the board room immediately. When I went inside, everyone stopped, stared at me, smiled, laughed and shouted, “Felicitations!” What were they saying? You look great This is hysterical What a mess Congratulations
