Well, clearly this chap has seen the odd podiatrist on the coal face.

Corny treatment for warts
16th Nov 2010
Edited by Dr Justin Coleman

Dr Jim McDonald from Sandringham, Victoria, knows a tip or two, having been practising as a GP for 40 years. His foolproof wart treatment is:1) pare back the wart, 2) protect the skin around the wart using sleek tape, 3) place a corn pad over the wart, 4) fill the central hole with 70% salicylic acid in linseed oil or wool fat, 5) wrap the entire region in tape for a week, 6) return for a final curette. Bingo!

Crikey.....won't be long before he's curing infertility with a wee rubber wedge under the big toe. Well done, Jimbob!
