Crazy but true

[Boog]

Not a Rocket funny but a VMAX tale. After I expertly totaled that glorious machine on a mountain in Colorado and I realized I was very much alive, I marveled at the amount of pain a mountain can give a fellow. I looked over at the bike and cried at its tangled state (and maybe the pain helped me cry too). The first car to stop had two college aged guys and they ran up to me. The first asked if I was okay to which I said No. His buddy, the Blue Color Comedy Tour fanatic asks, "Dude, did you crash your bike"? I said "Nope, just laying here in the ditch looking at the beautiful blue sky on this Sunday morning. Here's your sign..."
I say expertly above because they gave me a medal for it. Of course they call it a prosthetic rod. I just can't show it off except in xray.

It's great you could still find the sky beautiful after bending such a lovely machine !

After 5 months of flapping my arm around with a second floppy 'elbow' I got one of them too, along with a hip bone 'slurpy', they called it a 'plate' about 10" long and an 1" wide. A 'plate' was much more impressive than a mere medal or pissy little plastic 'urn'. I was such a hero they gave me a 2nd plus 'slurpy' because the 1st one decided it was too small for my heroics and tried to depart. Not being into personal recognition or being suspected as a terrorist for life I surrendered it a year or two later as it had the added slight disadvantage of shearing your upper arm bone near the unmendable joints on the next big come off.
I thought it was a bit ostentatious to wear on my chest at the annual Anzac Day parade and added it to my Meccano set instead.

The 'rod' sounds attractive in a 'Viagra' kind of way but I imagine a permanent 'boner' can be very disturbing, it certainly was in my far away youth.

Got to say though, I have never understood people playing 'Russian Roulette' or that game quickly stabbing a knife into a table between your spread fingers. You can't beat the numbers eventually.

We called that game with the hand bayonet mumbly Peg in the army.
It was never a game of skill or chance or the numbers.
Twas always about the huevos!!!

'Huevos!' is just a concept for confused 'innumerate' people. Like chickens thinking they have testicles to spare instead of just eggs.

Clever yet profound.

Now that's funny. Let's say it is long enough to have kept my arm stiff for almost 7 years now...
