I had an uncle who got a foot xray for arthritis and they saw a small
nail inside his toe. He had no idea how it got there.

Most people have toenails.     :-)

 It was the steel kind, pointy on one end and a head on the other.
 Uncle Billy ran the biggest nail distribution business in New
Hampshire, but still....

I once had a tiny splinter of steel under a fingernail.  I do know how
it got there.  It was hanging off the edge of a steel sheet that I had
guillotined and it decided to transfer itself to my finger.  Many
months later it decided to get infected during a very long flight
from Brisbane to London.  It is remarkable how much pain can be
generated by something so small.  The only remedy available was a
safety pin to release the pressure and vodka which the cabin crew
generously provided for both sterilisation and anaesthetic purposes.
