Warts have a psychological component. I once knew a psychiatrist (In a work situation) who would buy a child’s wart for a quarter if the child agreed to sell it. He would then tell the child he could keep the wart for a specified period of time (1 – 2 weeks) and at the end of the time the wart would be his. When the time was up the wart was gone.

Actually, I believe the wart removal old wives home cure involved potatoes, not bran…that would bring in the vodka.

Bran doesn’t work for wart removal. It too dry. Besides, warts are viruses. You can’t kill viruses with bran.

You should never eat bran and then perform on the flying trapeze.

Soak your wart it in cider then rub it with a muffin, all will then be cured.

Forget the muffin idea. Put a piece of duct tape or adhesive tape on the wart and leave it there. The wart will fall off in about a week.

Brush teeth with baking soda or use an icecube to get gum outta your hair…
