Input: Text: happened like ten years ago, of course, but i came to think of it today.

a friend of mine who lives in a more rural area came over to see me. on the way he had decided since it was such a lovely summer's day that he would take off his shoes and walk bare foot. but in a big city that may give you problems, and he ended up with a splinter in his foot, tiny but deep and irritating.

so when he came to my place he complained about how he couldn't get it out. after i gave him the proper scolding about being an idiot walking barefoot on these streets i came up with a solution...

you see i had recently been in greece and heard that when they get a splinter in the foot, they warm up some olive oil and soak the foot in it and the splinter slowly comes back out. i ask him if we should try that and he agrees.

so i start to heat up some olive oil on the stove. the thing is, i didn't consider that water and oil have different boiling points, so i treat it like water, heating it up until i could just start seeing some small bubbles. 

for water, this'd give you rather hot but bareable water if you just let it cool for a minute or pour in a dash of cold water.

for oil, though, this would be several hundred degrees more, i think (science nerds help me out here). hot enough to deep fry stuff at least.

so i let it cool for a minute, then put the pot on the floor and tell my friend to go ahead and dip his foot into the almost boiling oil.

he looks at me with doubt in his eyes and goes: "you sure about this?"

"yeah man, they do this all the time in greece!"

so he dips his foot in the boiling oil...

and immediately he pulls it out again and screams a curse! 

as he hobbles over to the sink to flush cool water on his foot, i realize that *maybe* this wasn't such a good idea...

i immediately call emergency services. the lady who answered asked what is the emergency, so i have to tell her that i just deep fried my friend's foot. there was a pause as she had to let it sink in, and then she instructed me in how to take care of it until the ambulance got there.

the first responders came to take a look at it. i gave them the whole story and while still being professional about it, they made it abundantly clear that they thought i was an idiot. however they said that since he had only dipped the surface of the front sole and also because we had cooled it off promptly, the damage wasn't too serious. they didn't need to take him to the burn ward, so they just did their thing to fix it up and told him he had to stay off the foot for a while.

amazingly, we're still friends, however he does not trust my medical advice anymore.

 

**update**

[i ran in to him today at the dentist's office](http://www.reddit.com/r/askreddit/comments/382scl/going_to_get_a_wisdom_tooth_pulled_need_some/) by coincidence. was just thinking about him this morning with the foot fries story and then meetnhim tje same day... small world.
