Clyde’s Toes
As you can imagine, Clyde survived a great ordeal in the labor camps. In a bid to get out of having to do nearly unbearable hard labor, he cut off two of his toes, hoping this would be enough to get him excused. As it were, his mother was negotiating his release with a court judge, and a few days after he cut off his own toes, he was released on parole. Clyde subsequently walked with a limp in the remaining days of his life, and the loss of his toes meant that he couldn’t drive while wearing shoes either.
