A veteran of the first world war was visiting a graveyard in Belgium to pay his respects to the fallen.Due to an old war wound he was unable to walk without dragging his left foot along the ground.
As he made his way through the cemetery he spied a fellow walking towards him walking in the same manner.
Thinking that this was a coincidence indeed, the first man pointed down to his own leg and proclaimed "Battle of Ypres, 1916, shell exploded ten yards away from me and a massive piece of shrapnel lodged itself just above my knee, i was lucky to keep my leg"
The other fellow, somewhat confused points down at his own leg and says "Got some dogs**t on my shoe!"
