Well, what do you DO with the legs after you chop them off? _‘Just throw them in the dumpster,’_ I thought, _‘no one will know…’_ So I rolled my ass out there in my desk chair (no more walking for me, remember) and tossed 'em in! What’s the problem? ---

A few years ago, I was having lunch at a local A & W. That night, it was reported that a headless female corpse was found in the dumpster outside. It had probably been there all day. Ick… The head was later found in Toledo (about 60 miles away). Her husband had rented a car and put about 120 miles on it. ---

A friend of a friend of mine was born with four legs. That’s right: two pairs of feet, 20 toes. He could run damn fast if he wanted to. Didn’t he say something about wanting to blend in the crowd?
